Cooking steps for Banana Kofta
- 1To start this recipe of banana kofta, peel and boil 500 grams of raw bananas until they're nice and tender. Let them cool down and mash them into a velvety texture.
- 2In a mixing bowl, bring the flavor party together with the mashed bananas, 100 grams of gram flour (besan), a sassy sprinkle of 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon garam masala, 1/2 teaspoon amchur (dry mango powder for that tangy zing), salt to taste, and a pop of freshly chopped coriander leaves.
- 3Knead it all into a dough-like consistency that feels just right. Roll this dreamy dough into small, adorable balls (koftas).
- 4Now, fire up the oil in a deep frying pan and fry these beauties until they're rocking that golden-brown glow like they just got back from a beach vacay.
- 5Let them chill on a paper towel to shed some of that extra oil (self-care, but for koftas). Meanwhile, get the gravy groove on: heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan, toss in 1 teaspoon cumin seeds, and let them crackle like they're having a good laugh.
- 6Add a finely chopped onion and saut until it's golden brown—kind of like your koftas' golden sibling. Stir in 1 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste and let it cook for a minute before amping up the spice game with 1/2 teaspoon turmeric, 1 teaspoon coriander powder, 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder, and 1/2 teaspoon garam masala.
- 7Cook for 2-3 minutes until your kitchen smells like heaven's spice rack.
- 8Toss in 2 finely chopped tomatoes and let them soften into a saucy mush, then add salt to taste and 1 cup water.
- 9Bring it all to a gentle boil, then simmer for a chill 5-7 minutes.
- 10Gently slide your golden koftas into the gravy hot tub and let them soak up the goodness for another 2-3 minutes.
- 11Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh coriander, and boom—you've just mastered the banana kofta recipe.
- 12Serve the banana koftas immediately.
