BAKED KOFTA BALLS IN TOMATO SAUCE
This recipe comes out of the Hare Krishna cookbook, The Higher Taste. I took a short cut and used organic tomato sauce from a jar instead of making my own. Of course home made is best. I also baked the Kofta balls instead of frying them in butter. I am only including the recipe for the Kofta Balls. I have changed some of the ingredients to suit my tastes. I didn't add any binder to this as the mixture was moist enough without it. Traditionally these Kofta balls are put over spaghetti, but I put them over Quinoa for something a little different.

Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 400'F.
- 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.
- Grate the cauliflower and cabbage. I used my food processor and it saved a lot of time.
- Put all the other ingredients except the olive oil in a large bowl and add the grated cauliflower and cabbage. Mix until well combined.
- Let the mixture sit for about 20-30 minutes so the moisture from the veggies is absorbed by the flour, this will ensure that the mixture will stick together and you can roll it into balls.
- Roll into 1 inch balls. I found squeezing them back and forth in my hands worked well.
- Place the Kofta balls in the oiled casserole dish.
- Drizzle a little more olive oil over each Kofta ball.
- Bake in the oven for 20 minutes. The Kofta should be a nice golden colour when you remove them.
- Let them cool for a few minutes. If they stick gently slide a spatula under each ball to remove.
- Put the Kofta balls in another dish.
- Spread 1/2 of the jar of pasta sauce in the bottom of the casserole dish. Place the Kofta balls on the sauce.
- 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.
- You can reheat the Kofta balls in the microwave or in the oven.
- Bon Apetit!

HERBY CHICKEN KOFTA MEATBALLS
This big batch of meatballs is inspired by kofta, the flavor-packed ground meat patties popular throughout the Middle East and North Africa. Stash them in your freezer so you always have the building blocks of a great meal. Try them simmered in tomato sauce, served over grains or greens, or packed into pita sandwiches with cucumbers, red onion, mint, and a tangy yogurt sauce.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Pulse yellow onions and garlic in a food processor until very finely chopped.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add chopped onion and garlic, season with 1/2 tsp. salt, and cook, stirring, until softened and lightly browned, 10-15 minutes. Add cumin, coriander, and red pepper and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30-60 seconds. Scrape into a large bowl and let cool slightly.
- Wipe out food processor and add parsley and mint. Pulse until finely chopped, then transfer to bowl with onion mixture. Add chicken and remaining 1 1/2 tsp. salt to bowl with onion mixture. Mix with your hands to combine, but do not overwork. Divide into 16 equal portions (about 1/3 cup per kofta). Shape into 3 1/2x2" "footballs" with tapered ends.
- Arrange patties on a rimmed baking sheet and roast, flipping halfway through, until chicken is cooked through and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 165°F, about 8 minutes per side.
- Do Ahead
- Kofta can be made 3 days ahead; transfer to an airtight container and chill, or freeze up to 6 months.

Steps:
- Add all the ingredients for the kofta balls together in a bowl and mix until well combined. Make small balls about the size of a walnut.
- In a frying pan heat the olive oil and gently fry the kofta balls until brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Be careful not to overcook them. You will add them to the sauce later, which will cook them further through.
- For the sauce, heat the olive oil in a heavy base pan and gently fry the onion and garlic until soft, about 5 minutes.
- Add the spices and sultanas and fry until the sultanas become all puffy. Be careful not to burn the sultanas.
- Add the chopped tomatoes and bring to the boil. Lower the heat and simmer gently for about 20 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Add the kofta balls to the sauce and heat through for a few minutes.
- For the couscous, add the couscous and spices to a bowl. Pour over the hot stock or water and cover with cling film. Leave for about 10 minutes.
- Pre-heat the oven to 150 C.
- Add the olive oil and fluff up with a fork. Put the butter on top, cover the bowl and put in the oven for about 15-20 minutes.
