VEGETABLE NUT & LENTIL KOFTAS

Serves :
5

Preparation Time :
1 hour

Cooking Time :
40 minutes

Preparation Method :

  • Heat 4 tablespoon of ghee or oil in a large saucepan and gently fry the onion, carrots, celery, garlic and chili for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Add the curry powder or paste and the lentils and cook gently for 1 minute, stirring.
  • Add the stock and tomato puree (paste) and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes or until the lentils are tender and all the liquid is absorbed.
  • Remove from the heat and cool slightly. Add the breadcrumbs, nuts, coriander, egg and seasoning to taste.
  • Mix well and leave to cool. Shape into rounds about the size of golf balls (the mixture is quite soft, so use 2 spoons to help shape the rounds, if necessary).
  • Place the balls on a greased baking sheet, drizzle with the remaining oil and sprinkle with a little gram masala, to taste. Cook in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until piping hot and lightly golden.
