Minced meat Fritters or Maakouda in Sauce

Hello
During the month of Ramadan, I love everything that is croquettes, fritters or maakouda (cauliflower fritters recipe here), I was going to prepare an Hachis Parmentier for yesterday’s dinner but I thought it will be too dry for dinner so without hesitation I prepared this very appetising dish . You will say oh more kilos, but hey I will move on strict diet,  grilled meat and steamed vegetables  after Ramadhan, lol
