From Classic Indian
Vegetarian Cooking, Julie Sahni, Doubleday, 1987.
I was in a mood for Indian food so went to the bookcase and
took down this book that I have not used for some time. When I have used it
before I have always been satisfied with the results.
I decided on making these koftas as appetisers. It was a
simple matter of putting all the ingredients into a bowl and mixing them
together, then forming them into ball shapes and deep-frying them.
They were made with 3 grated zucchini, half a grated onion,
about 45g of chick pea flour (besan), some ground coriander, a large pinch of paprika,
2 chopped red chillies, some chopped fresh coriander and a pinch of baking
powder, with salt added to taste.
These turned out to be wonderfully crisp on the outside and
soft inside. They were spicy and hot and quite moreish.

As some of these books may be out of print if anyone would
like a particular recipe, email me (alfcooksvege@ozemail.com.au)
and I’ll send an abbreviated version. Of course, the whole book would be
better; it’s loaded with other goodies.
