Guest guest Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Malai Kofta From Petrina Verma Sarkar, A dish for special occassions, Malai Kofta is the vegetarian alternative to meatballs. It goes very well with naan (tandoor-baked flatbread) or Jeera Rice. INGREDIENTS: For the koftas: 2 cups peeled and diced boiled potatoes 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, beans, peas, sweet corn) boiled 1 cup paneer cubes 2 tbsps of double strength DariFree 1 tsp cumin powder 1 tsp coriander powder 1/2 tsp red chilli powder 1/2 cup chopped nuts (almonds, walnuts and cashews) 1/4 raisins chopped fine Salt to taste Vegetable/ canola/ sunflower cooking oil to fry the koftas For the sauce: 3 tbsps vegetable/ canola/ sunflower cooking oil 2 large onions quartered 2 tomatoes quartered 2 tbsps garlic paste 1 tbsp ginger paste 2 tsps coriander powder 1 tbsp cumin powder 1/2 tsp red chilli powder 1 tsp poppy seeds lightly roasted and ground into a powder 3 tbsps nuts (cashews and almonds) ground into a thick paste Salt to taste 2 tsps garam masala PREPARATION: Mash the potatoes, mixed vegetables, paneer and cream together. Add the kofta spices to this mash and mix well. The resulting dough should be firm. If not add some more boiled potato. Season with salt. Make this dough into balls and put 1/2 a tsp of the nut and raisin mix in the center of each ball. Roll into perfect rounds. Heat the oil kept aside to fry the koftas, on a medium flame. Deep fry these rounds till pale golden in colour. Drain on paper towels and keep aside. For the gravy, first heat the 3 tbsps of oil in a deep pan and fry the onions till light brown. Grind into a paste along with the tomatoes, onions, ginger, garlic, coriander, cumin and red chilli powders. Put this paste back into the pan and fry till the oil begins to separate from the masala. Add the poppy seeds powder and nut paste and fry for another 2-3 minutes. Add 1 cup of warm water (the sauce for this dish is meant to be thick so do not add too much water) to this masala to form a sauce/gravy. Mix well. Season with salt. Bring the sauce/gravy to a boil and then reduce the fire to a simmer. Gently add the kofta to this sauce/gravy and cook uncovered for 2-3 minutes. Turn off the fire and sprinkle the garam masala all over the top of the dish. Cover immediately and allow to sit for 5 minutes. Note from BL: some gram marsala contains wheat. Be sure to check your spices carefully or make your own marsala blend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 This sounds good! I've never heard of DariFree, so I googled it. I see it is a " milk-free milk " made primarily from potatoes. Is there any reason you couldn't use soy milk, rice milk, or oat milk? (Or, in the case of a lacto-vegetarian, regular milk?) Sharon J.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 we are seriouly allergic 3 of us to milk protein so we started trying choises and darifree was our choice of preference. You could use whatever milk you so desire but for us it will stay DariFree Jana Worry is the senseless process of cluttering up tomorrow's opportunities with leftover problems from today. - " Sharon Zakhour " <sharon.zakhour Tuesday, January 08, 2008 6:59 PM Re: ] Malai Kofta This sounds good!

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 How can you eat paneer if you're allergic to milk? It's a type of cheese made of milk. I'm confused... --- " J.
