Kangaroo Kofta With Cauliflower & Masala Sauce

Popular in the Middle East and India, kofta are a meatball style meal, made with minced meat and vegetables.
The rich savoury flavours of these kofta, perfectly seasoned with herbs and complimented by the creamy Masala makes a deliciously different dinner the family will love.
In fact this recipe is so tasty no one will ever guess it is a healthy, calorie controlled part of our 28 Day Challenge to lose baby weight.
