Direcciones
- 1. Wash and soak toor dal for a few hrs. Drain and grind to a course paste along with onion, ginger, garlic, and chilies. (I do this by chopping the large ingredients and blending with the dal in batches. Add in sufficient water so the blender pastes, but not so much which it turns to watery mush.)
- Fold in salt and (optionally) cillantro leaves. Form into balls and steam 20 min. Remove from heat and cold balls. They will obtain a somewhat rubbery texture as they cold.
- 2. Gently heat buttermilk/yogurt in a pan. Add in spices (grnd coriander, cumin, channa dal, fenugreek, turmeric) and sufficient dry coconut to give a nice flavor and slightly thicken the sauce. (I add in all these ingredients to a coffee grinder and grind to a pwdr.) Add in ginger and chilies. Add in salt to taste. Adjust spices. It will taste like it's missing something till you add in the flavored oil.
- 3. Carefully place kofta balls into sauce.
- 4. Heat a little oil in a separate frying pan over medium heat, add in mustard seeds and curry leaves. When mustard seeds stop bursting, add in oil into the curry. You may want to partially cover pan to prevent seeds from popping grease all over your kitchen.
- NOTE: If you use non-fat yogurt, there is only 2 Tablespoons oil in the whole dish!
