Whenever we dine out we order kofta based gravy. Kofta is something that my kids love it. I love it too because I can make 2 dishes out of it..Gravy as well as snack.. But on the other hand by the time I want to add kofta into gravy it just disappears.. My kids love palak gravy I have posted so many palak gravy based side dishes. This is perfect for rice or roti. I have added cashew nut paste you can replace that with milk or 1 teaspoon of cream.
