It seem like a long time since I made something from our cookbooks. Today's recipe is again from Amma's dairy that she had written a long time ago and was saying we should make it sometime. I always love kofta recipes and with cabbage it seems like a perfect dish to make for Chapatis.
The boiled channa dal makes this taste almost like vadas, still these are koftas that you can make and let it soak in the gravy.
Enjoy with rotis, these Cabbage Koftas
