Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Vegetarian Kofta Curry Made Easy.
Step 1
Start by warming a generous splash of olive oil and a pat of butter in a large saucepan over medium heat.
Step 2
As the oil shimmers, toss in the cumin seeds, cardamom pods, whole cloves, a cinnamon stick, and a bay leaf.
Step 3
Sauté these aromatic spices for about a minute, allowing them to release their delightful fragrances and start to sputter.
Step 4
Next, add in some freshly grated onion, minced ginger, and crushed garlic.
Step 5
Stir frequently as they cook, letting the onion soften and turn a lovely golden brown, which should take around five minutes.
Step 6
Now it’s time to introduce diced tomatoes along with ground coriander, turmeric, ground cumin, garam masala, and a pinch of cayenne pepper if you’re feeling adventurous.
Step 7
Sprinkle in some salt, and let this vibrant mixture come to a gentle simmer, filling your kitchen with mouthwatering scents.
Step 8
Once it’s bubbling away, stir in creamy yogurt until everything is beautifully blended.
Step 9
Gently fold in the frozen vegetable meatballs, ensuring they’re well coated in the sauce.
Step 10
To achieve your preferred sauce consistency, pour in some hot water and bring the mixture back to a simmer.
Step 11
Cover the pan and let it cook for about 10 to 15 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and the meatballs to heat through.
Step 12
Enjoy the process as your dish transforms into a comforting meal that’s sure to warm your heart!.
