Cabbage kofta

As the raindrops keep falling, enjoy a plate of crispy koftas with a cup of tea.I love koftas in general. This makes a wonderful snack to munch,while it was pouring outside. Koftas are made with different vegetables, which are blended in a besan (gram flour) and other flours and deep-fried. You can use almost any vegetable when making these koftas. From cauliflower, eggplant, bell pepper, onion, potato,the choice is wide and varied. Paneer koftas and egg koftas can also tickle your taste bud. Of course, if you are calorie-conscious then koftas are not for you. But how about giving calorie thoughts a miss once in a while?
