Spinach and Broccoli Kofta
In this Spinach and Broccoli Kofta, I have used Broccoli and Spinach as a variation which makes it more healthy especially for kids. As my kids do not eat broccoli and spinach on their own I often try to mix and match different vegetables to make it more tempting for them. The crunchiness of peanuts gives it a unique taste. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it.

- 1 cup Broccoli - grated finely (along with stalks)

Tyra, they make thin and thick versions of sev. The thin sev is preferred to this kind of dish. It should be easy to find at an Indian grocery store.
Hi,
I love your recipes. What is thin sev? Haven’t encountered that before.
Thanks,
Tyra
