Preparation Time : 20
Cooking Time : 10
Serves / Makes : 4
Ingredients
For Koftas:
Green bananas—2
Home-made paneer, made from 1litre of milk
Salt and sugar to taste
Chaat masala—1tsp
Cumin powder—2tsp
Oil for deep frying
For Curry:
Yoghurt—1cup
Besan—1tbsp
Salt and sugar to taste
Garam Masala (whole)
Bay leaves—2
Oil—1tbsp
Method
Koftas:
*Boil, peel and mash the bananas.
*Hang the paneer in a thin cloth till all the liquid gets drained out. Then crumble the paneer and add it to the bananas.
*Add salt, sugar, chaat masala and cumin powder, mix well and form into small round balls.
Heat oil in a round-bottomed kadai and deep fry till golden brown.
Curry:
*Whisk together the yoghurt and besan.
*Heat oil, add the garam masala and then the bay leaves.
*Add the yoghurt, with salt and sugar to taste.
*If the curry is too thick, add a little water to get a batter consistency.
When the curry starts boiling, add the koftas, simmer for two minutes and remove from the fire.
Comments
*Adding besan to yoghurt prevents it from disintegrating like paneer.
*The bananas should not be over-boiled. They should be soft enough to mash, yet firm.
*If the koftas are left to simmer for too long, they will break.
