Chickpea-Kofta Recipe

Features:
    Cuisine:

    They're edible, but there are better recipes for vegetarian kofta. I think this one went a little too far in trying to be fatfree - the texture is arid. A smidge of oil, or regular yoghurt improves the feel of the patties. Also, for me, this blend of spices is perfunctory. A fresh pepper, onions, or the traditional green peas could add some interest. Baking rather than frying to patties does save some calories, and some cooking time, and the baking powder serves as a nice safety net to keep the patties from being too dense. Using a food processor for the chickpeas is better than a fork - the peas tend to squeeze out from the skin, leaving little knots of chewy skin, instead of a more uniform mixture. These do freeze well.

    Chickpea-Kofta Recipe,from Fatfree.com by Ellen M. Sentovich. Sounds interesting…Here’s what she wrote: “I just got around to trying this recipe and it is WONDERFUL !! It is a VERY tolerant recipe too. I made 1-person portions, which means my relative ingredient portions were probably way off. Day 2 I ran out of yogurt and used milk. Also didn’t feel like using the food processor so I crushed the chickpeas with a fork and stirred the rest together with a spoon. Day 3 I ran out of potatoes and used dried. The one instruction I recommend following for sure is to flatten and flip them half way through the baking. These are **really ** great, try them!”,They’re edible, but there are better recipes for vegetarian kofta. I think this one went a little too far in trying to be fatfree – the texture is arid.
