Palak Kofta

Ingredients:
1) Veggies whatever you wish to put in a kofta
2) Spinach (3-4 bundles)
3) Moong daal (Yellow) -- half bowl
4) CornFlour (3-4 tbsp)
5) Onion - 1 big
6) Tomatoes - 2 big
7) Garlic Cloves - 10
8) Ginger - around 1 inch

Method:
Boil Veggies, Mash them, add cornflour. Add all the masalas(whatever you wish for taste) and then make round koftas. You can either deep fry, but I would prefer either make them in microwave or shallow fry, to restrict the calorie count.

Boil Spinach along with moong daal. Make a paste in the grinder. Now make a paste of onion, ginger, garlic and tomato.

Put oil in a pan, followed by a few cumin seeds. Put the paste of onion etc. Put turmeric(1 tsp). After the paste turns brown, add the ground palak and moongdaal. Add salt and red chillipowder to taste. Let it boil for a min and then simmer for 5 mins. Add the koftas to this and the palak kofta is ready.

Tip: If the koftas are too soft, its better to add the koftas into the palak curry just before serving.
Also, you can make a paste of a few dry fruits of your choice and add to the palak curry. It gives a rich taste.
