Baked Kofta Balls in Tomato Sauce

Ingredients

• 2 cups cauliflower (grated)
• 2 cups cabbage (grated)
• 1 1/2 cups spelt flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon hing
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon coriander powder
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
• 1 pinch cayenne
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 (25 1/2 ounce) jar pasta sauce

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 400'F.

2. 2

   Coat the bottom of a 9x13 inch oven proof dish or pan with the 2 tablespoons of olive oil so all of it is well covered. If you want to use more then do, these balls will stick to the bottom.

3. 3

   Grate the cauliflower and cabbage. I used my food processor and it saved a lot of time.

4. 4

   Put all the other ingredients except the olive oil in a large bowl and add the grated cauliflower and cabbage. Mix until well combined.

5. 5

   Once it is mixed well, compress the mixture into 1 inch balls. I found squeezing them back and forth in my hands worked well.

6. 6

   Place the Kofta balls in the oiled casserole dish.

7. 7

   Drizzle a little more olive oil over each Kofta ball.

8. 8

   Bake in the oven for 20 minutes. The Kofta should be a nice golden colour when you remove them.

9. 9

   Let them cool for a few minutes. If they stick gently slide a spatula under each ball to remove.

10. 10

    Put the Kofta balls in another dish.

11. 11

    Spread 1/2 of the jar of pasta sauce in the bottom of the casserole dish. Place the Kofta balls on the sauce.

12. 12

    Pour the rest of the sauce on top. I added a little water to the jar to get the rest of the sauce out. Let them sit for about one hour. The Kofta balls will absorb the sauce very well.

13. 13

    You can reheat the Kofta balls in the microwave or in the oven.

    Bon Apetit!
