BROCCOLI KOFTA

Finally I have made this gravy, and the reason behind this is my sweet angel. whenever I ask her what she wants for dinner immediately she will tell kofta and chapathi.She has been saying this for atleast 3 months ,becoz once we both were  seeing Raks kitchen, where she has posted cauliflower kofta's with lovely stepwise pictures , I said my daughter we will prepare this, so from that day it started -what is for dinner - Kofta and Chapathi.

Herecomes the recipe,  first let me start with kofta's and then to the gravy
