Everything Kofta / Cabbage, zuchinni, carrot and lauki Kofta curry

I could not think of any better title then this for this dish. It has cabbage, zucchini carrot and Lauki (bottle gourd so came up with this name. If you have any other name let me know I am happy to give that name. I was tempted to add Beetroot also but then I stay back cause it was already too much vegetables for me. But nothing goes waste that's why I made everything and took whatever needed for diner and froze leftover koftas so next time just have to make a gravy and I am done.
