Louki Kofta ( Indian zucchini balls ) with vegetarian instructions
Got a new cookbook at garage sale and this is a recipe from it slightly altered. Check out my recipe for indian seasoned tomato gravy it pairs perfectly with these!
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Squeeze zucchini with hands as much as you can to remove all excess liquid. Discard liquid.
* Step 2
In a large bowl mix together zucchini, green chilis, ginger,parsley,salt and baking powder.
* Step 3
Heat enough oil to deep fry in a deep fryer or deep welled skillet or wok until hot.
* Step 4
While oil is heating add the flour to the zucchini mix and knead until sticky and moldable. If too loose add more flour.
* Step 5
NOTE: as mixture sits the zucchini will continue to make liquid so add flour as needed between batches of frying.
* Step 6
Mold into 1/2 tbl sized balls (about 25 total)
* Step 7
When oil reaches 355°F slip about 6 balls at a time into hot oil. Seperate them as they float together so they dont stick.
* Step 8
Fry until deep golden and crunchy.
* Step 9
Transfer to a paper towel lined plate to drain for a moment.
* Step 10
Transfer to a warm serving dish and keep warm. Repeat until all balls are cooked.
* Step 11
Serve with my indian tomato gravy or marinara sauce.
* Step 12
Serve hot and enjoy! Adapted from the art of indian vegetarian cooking by: yamura devi
* Step 13
To make this vegetarian...... just sub the all purpose flour for chipea flour and sub ghee for the vegetable oil.
