Earlier this month I've shared one of my favourite recipe using palak or spinach called Palak kheema (spinach cooked with minced meat) and today I'm sharing a snack cum side dish Palak ke kofte. Kofte are nothing but the round shape that is given to the food, the ones that are made of meat are the meatballs and like so. Also read my previous post on how to make Vegetable oats kofta.
Palak ke kofte are crisper on the outside and softer inside. These can be eaten as a snack and be served with a preferred chutney or ketchup. Try serving them with a healthy accompaniment like Til ki chutney from My Mom's Kitchen. Or you can also serve these palak ke kofte as a side dish with Tomato rice.
The main ingredient palak or spinach as we all know is very rich in calcium and is essential specially for kids and this palak ke kofte can be an interesting form to get them eat spinach. Now, to the recipe :-
Ingredients:
- Palak / spinach - 1 bunch
- Onion - 1 no
- Besan - 2 cups
- Rice flour - 1 & 1/2 tbsp
- Cumin powder - 1 tbsp
- Red chili powder - 1 tsp
- Ginger garlic paste - 1 tsp
- Coriander leaves - few
- Salt - to taste
- Water - as required
- Oil - for frying
Method:
- Wash and clean spinach leaves and chop them as finely as possible.
- In a mixing bowl take all the ingredients except oil and water. Mix well.
- Add water to form a dough. (I used only a tablespoon of water as the water from spinach was enough to get a smooth dough.)
- Take little dough at a time and form kofte or lemon sized balls.
- Heat oil for frying. Once hot, fry the kofte in batches till golden brown on all sides.
- Serve hot.
