Baked Cabbage Palak Kofta

I tried this recipe based on some recipes I found online. I made my own changes and customizations as usual. The most interesting one was that to make the gravy thicker and healthier, instead of cream I pureed cooked toor dal and added it to the gravy. It turned out to be yummy and I was happy that I used very little oil.

Kofta:

1. Half a medium sized cabbage chopped finely
2. 2 cups spinach roughly chopped

17. Water
    
18. Oil to spray on pan and top

Directions:

1. Mix all the ingredients above and add just enough water to bring everything together into a dough like consistency. It should not be of a batter consistency.

3. Spray oil on a pan and on the koftas and bake at 450 for 20 mins and then broil to brown the outside.

Gravy: This is the usual onions and tomatoes gravy with a cup of ground cooked toor dal to thicken it instead of cream.
