Kofta Curry - this is our most popular Northern Indian Curry dish. The
recipe has soft vegetarian koftas in an aromatic and tasty tomato curry.
Accompaniment - They
are traditionally served with any flatbread, French bagette or with rice. A side
dish of yogurt raita (raita recipe given below) and a side salad of Kuchumber (recipe
given below) accompany this dish.
Serving Suggestions for Home - At home I serve Kofta
Curry (which is the favorite along with Palak Paneer of my children and their friends) by
combining it with a package of frozen spinach. This also allows me to stretch a box
of Kofta Curry to serve my family of four.
Heat a pan. Add half cup water and put the frozen entree in it.
Then,
1. Add a package of frozen or fresh spinach to Kofta curry entree. Heat the dish
until the dish is heated through and is bubbling.
Serving Suggestions for Entertaining - This Kofta Curry
is made in th Mughlai Style of Cooking. The Mughals who ruled India for almost 300
years, loved eating and entertaining, and vegetarian koftas dishes such as this is the
result of the Muslim and Indian cultures mingling together. This dish like all
Mughlai food is excellent for entertaining.
Combine 2 packages to serve 6 when serving with other dishes.
Combine 3 packages to serve 6 for larger servings. Serve with side dishes of steamed
vegetables, roasted golden potatoes and raita (raita recipe given below) and chutneys,
flat breads and rice pilaf.
