    Vegan Coconut Kofta Curry

    When I talk about kofta curries, this vegan coconut kofta curry is not so common as malai kofta and lauki kofta and potato koftas. But I like variations in vegetables and spices. I have made this curry in 2 ways. Here it's made with regular curry paste which consists of onion, tomatoes, ginger & garlic. In addition other spices adding flavor to the gravy. The 2nd curry base I will post in my further recipe post. This is vegan and gluten-free.

    To read about koftas (how to make coconut koftas) read my post on coconut fritters. Recipe here!  As I have metioned earlier these fritters can be taken as snacks/ appetizers or even used in curries. In koftas you may add mashed potatoes or paneer with scraped coconut for the koftas.

    One tip: Don't add koftas to boiling gravy as they might fall apart with high temperature. Just turn off the heat once gravy is cooked. Wait for 5 minutes before adding the soft koftas to the gravy. Add koftas then close the lid for some more time so that all aromas and flavors of spices will get infused with koftas.

    Lets make this classic coconut kofta curry.
