CHEESY CAULIFLOWER KOFTA CURRY | SIDE DISH FOR ROTI

A NO ONION,NO GARLIC RECIPE
       
      The original recipe uses broccoli,since me and my hubby don't like broccoli,I tried with cauliflower.. I liked this recipe when I tasted first time at Sangeeta’s house,though she had made with broccoli…I asked her the recipe,but she was not able to give that time…Since she told me the recipe source,I just got the cookbook from Library ..

Notes:

FOR LOW FAT VERSION: I have made this with cheese in the middle,you can skip that and make just the koftas and pan fry the balls in paniyaram pan. You can try stuffing grated paneer or some mixed grated vegetables(carrot,cabbage and capsicum) too instead cheese for a different version.
