Ingredients

Koftas:

½ onion – finely chopped

3 medium courgettes – grated

1 small green or red chilli – finely chopped

1 tsp fresh ginger – finely chopped

About ½ c. or so gram flour

2-3 tbsp fresh coriander – chopped

oil for deep frying

½ tsp salt

Sauce:

2 onions – finely chopped

2 tbsp sunflower oil

½ tsp ground turmeric

2 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp ground coriander

½ tsp garam masala

a little cayenne pepper or chilli powder

½ tsp salt

1×400 grams tin tomatoes

How to make Spicy Courgette Koftas

Koftas:

Step 1: In a tea towel or muslin, place the courgettes and squeeze as much liquid out as possible.

Step 2: Combine the courgettes with the remaining Koftas ingredients. Meanwhile, heat the oil.

Step 3: Shape a small amount of courgettes mixture into a ball, a little smaller than a golf ball. Add the balls in batches into the hot oil and fry for about 5 to 7 minutes or until the koftas are browned. Transfer the cooked koftas to kitchen paper and allow them to cool.

Sauce:

Step 4: In the same pan, heat the oil and gently fry the onions for approximately 7 minutes until the onions have softened and beginning to brown. Then, add the turmeric along with cumin, cayenne, and coriander. Continue to cook for a couple of seconds more before adding in the tomatoes. Let everything simmer for about 10 minutes.

Step 5: Take off the heat when done and pulse the sauce until smooth. Then, add the garam masala and season with salt.

Step 6: In a large ovenproof dish, place the koftas and pour the sauce over. Place in a preheated 190 degrees C and bake for about 25 to 30 minutes or until the sauce is bubbling hot.
