ALOO KOFTA CURRY

This I learnt from my sister Vasupradha… The first spl dish, she prepared in her in laws house when she got married last year. It came out very well for her and got appreciation of every one in her house. She shared this recipe with me.

I prepared this as a side dish of vegetable fried rice.
