Palak Kofta Curry/Spinach Balls Curry
I found quite a few palak kofta curry recipes on the net, but all of them were complicated or needed fancy ingredients. I was in no mood to use paneer, cream, cashew paste, etc. So I used simple ingredients, and made my own version!

Cooking Instructions
- 1
To make the koftas: First boil the raw spinach till it is tender. Then drain and squeeze out the water. Save some of the water for the gravy.
- 2
In a bowl, add the boiled spinach, the boiled potato, chopped onion, salt, hing/asafetida, and a pinch of garam masala. Mash them all together.
- 3
Add oil to a wok, and let it heat up. Meanwhile, make lime sized balls with the spinach mix. It will yield about 16 balls.
- 4
Once the oil is hot, turn down the heat, and then add the spinach balls. Fry till golden in colour.
- 5
Remove the cooked balls from the wok. Also remove some of the oil from the wok. Then add the onion-ginger-garlic paste, and sauté.
- 6
After a minute, add in the coriander powder, turmeric powder, and garam masala. Cook for 2-3 mins, till oil starts to leave the sides of the paste.
- 7
Now add the tomatoes. Add a little bit of oil if required. Cook the tomatoes for 3-4 mins.
- 8
Add the curd. Mix well. Let the gravy cook till the whey from the curd evaporates.

Finally, add the spinach water and the milk. Let is boil away for 1-2 mins.
- 10
Add sugar. Adjust the salt as per taste.

Palak Kofta / Spinach Balls Curry Palak Kofta / Spinach Balls Curry
I had made this Palak kofta curry for dinner last night. Koftas turned out really delicious. My son gobbled up a couple of koftas just like that... said they tasted good as is and didn't want to wait until the curry was ready. The spices in the gravy were well balanced. Koftas had a thin crispy covering with soft flavourful center..Flashback⏪, my mom used to make palak kofta curry when I was a little girl. My last attempt at making these koftas was way back in 2001. As a newly-wed I wanted to impress hubby dear.😉 Needless to say, the curry did not turn out the way I had imagined or remembered how it tasted when mom made. Unfortunately, picking up phone & making a call across oceans, every time I attempted something to cook was not an option back then...blame it on time zone difference and high international call rates.😆.Current day⏩, years of experience and confidence in my cooking skills and a zeal for variety in my meals got me to making these palak koftas again. I must say, they turned out so delicious that I'm already thinking about other vegetables that can be used to making koftas..This is my contribution to the second phase of #itsprocessoverproduct.To see more of my work, follow onInstagram- @TheRedPlateChroniclesFacebook - TheRedPlateChroniclesWordpress - http://theredplatechronicles.home.blogLoveM❤️
