Roshi's Malai Kofta
This article is originally from Roshi's Raw Lifestyle. For original post, please visit this link.
It occurred to me this weekend that even though I’ve been making Indian dishes for the last few recipes, I haven’t made the one thing that Indian food is known for: curry. Actually, I haven’t made a curry since my very first post (curried vegetable wrap), so I figured this week should definitely be a curry week. With my spice cabinet out in full force, I was really feeling the recipe flow on this one. Its got every flavor you could ask for, all joining together to provide one deliciously memorable experience for the taste buds. As always, preparation is less than 20 minutes. I hope you love it as much as I do.
Ingredients
Curry:
* 2 bananas
* 1 tomato
* 1 tbsp coconut oil
* 1 tsp coriander
* 1 tsp cumin
* 1/2 tsp garam masala
* 2 pinches cinammon
* 1/2 tsp turmeric
* 1/4 tsp salt
* red chili powder (to taste)
* 1 handful cashews
* about 1/2 cup water
Koftas:
* 1 1/2 handfuls walnuts
* 1/2 tsp cumin
* 1/2 tsp coriander
* 1 tsp Nama Shoyu/Bragg’s Liquid Aminos
* 1 large soft date
Directions
Place bananas, tomatoes, and coconut oil into food processor and mix until smooth. Next add spices and cashews. Depending on the thickness of the curry, add water until it reaches the desired consistency. Taste a little and see if you’d like it a little spicier (if so, add equal amounts coriander, cumin, garam masala). To make the koftas, pulse walnuts, cumin, coriander, and nama shoyu in food processor until walnuts are in small pieces. Mash walnut mixture together with dates by hand, then roll the mixture into little balls.
To serve: Places koftas on plate and cover with sauce. For “rice,” use shredded cabbage, and for “naan” use pieces of any leafy lettuce. For salad, use cherry tomatoes or sliced tomatoes.
And remember to eat with your hands to get the full flavor!!!

This looks good... i think i will try it soon - I have never heard of garam masala - is that findable at any market? Is it a necessary part of the recipe? Thanks :)

You can find it in any Indian/Arabic grocery store and probably in whole foods. I would recommend the indian/arabic stores though, it will probably be much cheaper. If you can't find it, you can just complement with more of the other spices, so no worries.
hope you enjoy it!

This sounds fabulous. I'm topping this thread because I can across this when looking for coconut oil recipes. Malai Kofta used to be my favorite Indian dish.
And bonus because I am always looking for recipes that utilize turmeric.

Has anyone tried this? It sounds and looks really good, but I'm wondering how strong of a banana flavor it has (husdand doesn't like bananas).

That sounds like fun.. There is a thing called double dutch where two girls hold two ropes and you have to jump them both at the same time.. maybe you could find a couple of girls to try this with you. It's pretty impressive when you see it..
We liked when they rearranged the letters on the school sign to say nasty things.
I feel your pain. I did this a few times before finally giving up. :(
Oh yeah, we read that one, LOL! :)
Thats a cute pic!
I usually just eat it. Once in a blue moon I go by the HFS and get juice. I should probably buy a juicer.....
I love to hear sweet words like that!
You guys really look like soul mates! Beautiful pic!
Did you meet any hot chicks??
They'll have to come up with a great excuse like the aliens stole the money..
This is so great. I want to try it but I will have to get a microphone. Which is the best one to use? Do you have a link?
