Kofta curry

Here is one more yummy recipe with the boring sorekai/ bottle gourd.

Ingredients
1. Sorekai
2. gram flour and rice flour
3. onion
4. Tomato
5. Coriander
6. Coriander powder, tumeric powder, garam masala
7. Ginger & garlic paste

Method:
For the koftas: Grate the sorekai. Around 2 cups of grated sorekai will give around 10 koftas. Squeeze out all the water from the grated sorekai and save it for later use. Add salt, a little bit of tumeric, coriander powder and chilli powder. Add gram flour and little rice flour to the sorekai and mix it so that you can make small balls of this mixture. Fry these Sorekai balls in hot oil till they turn golden brown. Keep them aside.

Now for the gravy:
Grind 3 onions and two tomatoes in mixer separately. Let the oinion paste be a little coarse. Heat some oil and add the onion and ginger & garlic paste. Fry till onion turns pink/light brown.Add a little coriander powder and some garam masala. Now add the tomato paste. Fry for another 2 mins. Add the sorekai water into this. This is very important! Add salt as required. Add finely chopped coriander. When the curry starts to boil, add the koftas and boil for 5 mins. Its ready to server with chapatis, rotis, nans.
