Instructions
- Prepare the Kofta Mixture: In a large bowl, mash the chickpeas with a fork or potato masher. Add grated zucchini, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, garlic, cumin, coriander, cayenne, salt, pepper, and cilantro. Mix until well combined.
- Form the Koftas: Shape the mixture into small balls or patties, about 1-2 inches in diameter.
- Fry the Koftas: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the koftas in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy on all sides. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Make the Spiced Coconut Sauce: In a saucepan, combine coconut milk, red curry paste, lime juice, and salt. Simmer over low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until slightly thickened.
- Serve: Arrange the koftas on a serving plate and drizzle the spiced coconut sauce over them. Garnish with additional cilantro if desired.
