Ingredients

  • Koftas
  • Handful raw almonds, chopped
  • 1 tbsp cumin seeds
  • 1½ cups cooked chickpeas, mashed
  • 3 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 cups fresh breadcrumbs
  • 3 large or 6 small carrots, grated
  • Handful fresh coriander, chopped
  • Salt & pepper, to taste

Method


  • Mix toasted almonds and cumin seeds into mashed chickpeas, along with garlic and ginger. Add breadcrumbs, carrot and coriander, and mash well with your hands. Add salt and pepper to taste and combine well into a firm dough.
  • Form the dough into 12 balls then roll into oval shapes. Place on a plate and store in the fridge while you make the sauce (recipe and ingredients below).
  • To cook koftas, heat a non-stick frying pan over a high heat. Add koftas and turn when brown on one side. Continue to turn every couple of minutes until all sides are brown.
  • Add chopped green beans to the sauce and add salt and pepper to taste. Pour sauce into a shallow serving bowl and place koftas in the sauce. Sprinkle over chopped almonds and coriander leaves and serve with cooked brown rice.
