Potato Malai Kofta

with Sautéed Spinach & Tomato Chutney

Malai kofta are comforting North Indian potato dumpings, typically containing paneer, a soft fresh cheese. We use chickpea flour to add heft and help bind our plant-based potato kofta. This cozy meal is made complete with velvety malai sauce, a tomato-based curry gravy with creamy coconut milk.

INSTRUCTIONS

1
Start the kofta

Cover potato with 1 inch salted water in medium saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Add green beans and carrot and cook until tender, about 1 minute. Drain cooked vegetables and transfer to large bowl. Reserve saucepan.

2
Make the malai sauce

Heat 2 tsp olive oil in same saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and just 2 tsp ginger and cook aromatics until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add tomato powder, curry powder, coconut milk, and ½ tsp salt and bring to a simmer. Cook malai sauce until slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to blender and blend on low until smooth, about 1 minute. Leave covered to keep warm. (4-serving meal: use 4 tsp olive oil) (TIPS: Save the remaining ginger for your own use. Vent blender (by removing the plastic center of the lid) and begin blending on low and finish on high to avoid splashing.)

3
Form the kofta

Add garbanzo bean flour and ¼ tsp salt to bowl with cooked vegetables. Lightly mash kofta mixture and form into 6 patties, each about 1 inch thick. (4-serving instructions: use ½ tsp salt)

4
Cook the kofta

Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add kofta patties and cook until browned and crisp, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer crispy potato kofta to plate and wipe skillet clean. (4-serving meal: use ¼ cup olive oil)

5
Serve

Return same skillet to medium heat with 1 tsp olive oil. Add spinach and a pinch of salt and pepper and cook until wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Divide malai sauce between plates and add sautéed spinach and potato kofta. Top with tomato chutney. Dig in!
