Macher Kofta Curry / Fish Kofta Curry

Bengali and fish are so related that they give compliment to each other. But those bangladeshi kids who brought up in aboard are hard for them to cop up with fish bone. This recipe is specially for those kids. Macher kofta curry is very simple curry recipe with great result. Actually it is my own little creation when I started to cook in the begining.
