Kofta Balls (Baked) image

These are delicious. I think it's best to let them sit over night in the tomato sauce so it can absorb some of the sauce into the Kofta ball. These aren't "meat balls" so if you do choose to eat them with pasta be aware they are different. I like them because they are totally Vegan.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 c grated cauliflower
2 c grated cabbage
1 1/2 c spelt flour (white)
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp hing (asafetida)
1 tsp garam masala
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp coriander powder
1/2 tsp turmeric
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 jar(s) tomato sauce (or your favourite spaghetti sauce)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat your oven to 400'F.
  • 2. Coat a 9x13 inch oven proof dish or pan with 2 tbsp. olive oil so all of it is well covered. If you want to use more then do, these balls will definitely stick to the bottom of the pan. It's happened to me every time.
  • 3. Grate the cauliflower and cabbage. I used my food processor and it saved a lot of time.
  • 4. Put all the other ingredients except the olive oil in a large bowl and add the grated cauliflower and cabbage. Mix until well combined
  • 5. Let the mixture sit in the bowl for 20-30 minutes so the moisture from the cabbage and cauliflower can go into the flour. This will create a sticky mixture which is quite easy to roll into balls.
  • 6. Form into 1" balls. Place the balls into the oiled casserole dish. Drizzle the balls with more olive oil and bake for 20 minutes or until the balls are a golden shade.
  • 7. Let them cool for a few minutes and then using a flexible spatula remove the balls into another dish that you have covered the bottom with 1/2 the jar of tomato sauce. I used a home made sauce I made, but jar sauce is also good here.
  • 8. Put the Kofta Balls on top of the tomato sauce then put the other half of the sauce on top of the balls and put in the fridge for a few hours to over night to let the tomato sauce absorb into the Kofta Balls.
  • 9. These can be reheated in the microwave for a few minutes if you like.
  • 10. Enjoy!

Overall, I thought these kofta balls were pretty good. They were easy to make and had a nice flavor. However, I think they could have been better if I had used a different type of meat, such as ground chicken or turkey.

I thought these kofta balls were just okay. They were a bit bland for my taste, and I think I would have liked them better if I had used more spices in the meat mixture.

These kofta balls were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had added some more moisture to the meat mixture, maybe by using some grated vegetables or bread crumbs.

These kofta balls were good, but not great. They were a bit too dense for my taste, and the yogurt sauce was a bit too tangy. I think I would have liked them better if they were a bit lighter and fluffier.

I was disappointed with these kofta balls. They were bland and lacked flavor. I think I would have liked them better if I had used more spices in the meat mixture.

These kofta balls were a bit dry for my taste, but the yogurt sauce helped to balance it out. I think next time I will add some more moisture to the meat mixture, maybe by using ground chicken or turkey instead of lamb.
