Hello, friends vegan-lovers and community greetings. Today I would like to share a unique recipe that is mostly made on special days or festive times.
Vegetable koftas and curried vegetables with coconut milk.
this i made for one of my friend's family. They are going to shift to another town and she was very busy packing and transferring her belongings. She had no time to make food for her children so I thought it better to at least make one dinner for them.
ingredients for koftas :
2 cups of grated cabbage
2 cups of grated carrots
1 onion
2-3 cm ginger
1 green chili
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp paprika powder
1 tsp garam masala /curry
1/2 tsp turmeric
2 cups of split black beans and chickpeas soaked.
2 tbsp cornstarch
oil to fry
In the mixer jar, add both dals (split and soaked Beans and chickpeas), green chili, and ginger, and blend into a coarse paste.
in a bowl mix cabbage, carrot, onion, and spices with the blended dal paste.
Mix thoroughly.
Add cornstarch.
Mix it into a dough and make lime-sized balls.
keep them aside.
Heat oil in a skillet.
And fry the koftas on medium heat until they turn crispy and brown.
Here they are ready when we make curry we add them to it but they can also be eat alone.
Now we make the vegetable curry.
