malai kofta
It occurred to me this weekend that even though I’ve been making Indian dishes for the last few recipes, I haven’t made the one thing that Indian food is known for: curry. Actually, I haven’t made a curry since my very first post (curried vegetable wrap), so I figured this week should definitely be a curry week. With my spice cabinet out in full force, I was really feeling the recipe flow on this one. Its got every flavor you could ask for, all joining together to provide one deliciously memorable experience for the taste buds. As always, preparation is less than 20 minutes. I hope you love it as much as I do.

Ingredients
Curry:
* 2 bananas
* 1 tomato
* 1 tbsp coconut oil
* 1 tsp coriander
* 1 tsp cumin
* 1/2 tsp garam masala
* 2 pinches cinammon
* 1/2 tsp turmeric
* 1/4 tsp salt
* red chili powder (to taste)
* 1 handful cashews
* about 1/2 cup water
Koftas:
* 1 1/2 handfuls walnuts
* 1/2 tsp cumin
* 1/2 tsp coriander
* 1 tsp Nama Shoyu/Bragg’s Liquid Aminos
* 1 large soft date
Directions
Place bananas, tomatoes, and coconut oil into food processor and mix until smooth. Next add spices and cashews. Depending on the thickness of the curry, add water until it reaches the desired consistency. Taste a little and see if you’d like it a little spicier (if so, add equal amounts coriander, cumin, garam masala). To make the koftas, pulse walnuts, cumin, coriander, and nama shoyu in food processor until walnuts are in small pieces. Mash walnut mixture together with dates by hand, then roll the mixture into little balls.
To serve: Places koftas on plate and cover with sauce. For “rice,” use shredded cabbage, and for “naan” use pieces of any leafy lettuce. For salad, use cherry tomatoes or sliced tomatoes.
And remember to eat with your hands to get the full flavor!!!

I'm really excited to find you blog and try this recipe tonight. My Indian girlfriend has really been missing eating brown food since we've gone raw. I'll be checking back frequently for new recipes to try!
This looks amazing!!!!!!!!! mmmm I can't wait to try it!
wow – this is genius! I'm so glad I stumbled on your site! Thank-you..
Oh my god. I've been craving raw Indian fod. I am overjoyed to find your site. Awesome – thanks!
Just made it — very big thumbs up. Even without Garam Masala (I'm out) and using coconut spread + macadamia oil in place of coconut oil, still delicious. And sure it'll be even more so next time w/ all the right ingredients. More recipes please!
ps. I made a Naan variation using the basic Onion Bread recipe with cumin, diced green chiles and cumin mixed in, with minced garlic on top. It was very delicious.
Are there any other nuts that can be used for this recipe, other than walnuts?
Just tried this recipe for dinner! Fall is here and the weather is turning chilly so I was craving something “heavier” and complex…this recipe was perfect and satisfying!
this looks absolutely delicious! i love indian curry:) i'll try this soon
