Directions
Gobi aloo kofta is a curry based recipe made with cauliflower and potato spiced dumplings. This recipe is more of an extension of the famous lauki me kofte, basically borne out of my boredom of making lauki all the time. This recipe used to be a time consuming process until one fine day, I ordered and received my appam pan. Now, it is a win win situation for me, because while my koftas get ready in the appam pan, I can work on the gravy and hence, it takes almost half the time to make these delectable koftas. And it is a guilt free recipe since I do not have to deep fry the koftas. Enjoy these super delicious and healthy koftas with roti or naan of your choice.
