Palak Kachodi and Kofta for the Krishna Janmashtami 2014

Last week was Shri Krishna Janmashtami

 so this year decked up the entrance with Krishna idol

 and prepared Lord Krishnas favorite dessert kheer 

.Since childhood festival means another excuse to indulge in delicacies like poori ,kachdodi.So for dinner thought of preparing Palak Kachodi and Kofta Curry. Had  heard about Palak Kachodi a lot but never tried at home .So this meal was prepared to get into the festive fervour after all festivals are something which bring break to the otherwise monotonous life.
