Print Recipe

Spinach bread koftas are easy to make, scrumptious and you can eat these as snack too. I had few leftover bread slices and wondered what to do with them. So, here is my take on using some leftovers and turning into a curry which was truly loved by the whole family. I hate wasting food and always look for options on how to use them efficiently. My family will sometimes laugh on the things I make with leftovers but till the time they are edible, they cooperate and eat what I serve them 🙂

I have made these koftas in appe pan as I wanted to use minimum oil. You can also deep fry them if you do not have an appe pan. If you want to try out other variations of kofta curry, just click on the names below:
