Kofta
- Mix all ingredients together and squeeze firmly. Leave to sit for 30 mins
- Roll tablespoon amounts of the dough into balls. You’ll make about 24.
- Cook, rolling in the pan until balls are browned on all sides, about 4-5 minutes.
Sauce
- Heat oil and butter in pan until butter is melted.
- Add bay leaves and allow to fry for 1 minute.
- Add remaining ingredients, and allow to simmer for 3 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and remove bay leaves and blend sauce with stick blender.
- Return to the heat and add kofta.
- Serve with rice or couscous.
This looks like it would be a good one for Ollie too. I am guessing this is one of the recipe you had no words for? You still managed to make me giggle!
I’m so glad Claire. Yep, Elliot loved these, so I think they’re a good ‘kid friendly’ recipe.
I love how there’s no wastage because you use the stalks. This is a really flavourful way to use up vegetables in the bottom of the crisper xx
I always use the stalks, I quite like them.
yum! This sounds like a great dish for everyone… From the adults through to the toddler and the babe when he starts on solids. Winner, winner, vegie dinner 🙂
This one was a winner with all at our place. Hope everyone liked it.
Hi Clare
We made this tonight to feed two so I halved the recipe and substituted some spices .
We will make it again thank you
It was pretty good – I think a tomato and coconut sauce would be good too and instead of rice I will try quinoa or even put the patties into flat bread.
This was the third recipe of yours that we have tried and all good 👍🏻
We make the veg burgers every month and the pumpkin and lentil sausage rolls were a success too
Appreciate your efforts
