Directions
Chickpea and Sweet Potato Koftas (Reduced Fat),From Mollie Katzen’s “Vegetable Heaven:” “Koftas are little patties or balls made from ground or mashed vegetables. In traditional Indian cooking, they are usually deep-fried, and served in a creamy, savory sauce. In this recipe, the koftas are shaped into patties, similar to falafel, and sauted or baked, instead of deep-fried. These delicious little koftas are also quite prettya deep shade of golden yellow, punctuated by nuggets of bright green peas. For a great lunch, serve them in pita, with minced tomatoes and Mediterranean Yogurt.”,The 4 stars is from my husband. Dough was too soft, and it was difficult to form patties. Tasted good, but not especially. We ate with Recipe #69516 its sauce on the koftas made a big difference. I would have rated 3 stars, sorry…,These were great! They are quite easy to make and taste lovely. used cumin powder instead of the seeds and omitted the scallions as I didn’t have any. Thanks!
