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!

KOFTA BALLS (BAKED)
These are delicious. I think it's best to let them sit over night in the tomato sauce so it can absorb some of the sauce into the Kofta ball. These aren't "meat balls" so if you do choose to eat them with pasta be aware they are different. I like them because they are totally Vegan.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat your oven to 400'F.
- 2. Coat a 9x13 inch oven proof dish or pan with 2 tbsp. olive oil so all of it is well covered. If you want to use more then do, these balls will definitely stick to the bottom of the pan. It's happened to me every time.
- 3. Grate the cauliflower and cabbage. I used my food processor and it saved a lot of time.
- 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. Let the mixture sit in the bowl for 20-30 minutes so the moisture from the cabbage and cauliflower can go into the flour. This will create a sticky mixture which is quite easy to roll into balls.
- 6. Form into 1" balls. Place the balls into the oiled casserole dish. Drizzle the balls with more olive oil and bake for 20 minutes or until the balls are a golden shade.
- 7. Let them cool for a few minutes and then using a flexible spatula remove the balls into another dish that you have covered the bottom with 1/2 the jar of tomato sauce. I used a home made sauce I made, but jar sauce is also good here.
- 8. Put the Kofta Balls on top of the tomato sauce then put the other half of the sauce on top of the balls and put in the fridge for a few hours to over night to let the tomato sauce absorb into the Kofta Balls.
- 9. These can be reheated in the microwave for a few minutes if you like.
- 10. Enjoy!

- In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients (except the tahini sauce) with your hands or a wooden spoon, until well blended. Form the mixture into 24 small ball; I like to use an ice-cream scoop to get the exact sizes. Place kofta balls 1 inch apart on an un-greased sheet pan and press to flatten; squeeze as many as you can on the pan because they will shrink as they bake.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the center is done. Place under the broiler for 2 minutes or until lightly charred. Serve with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and tahini sauce, in pitas or as a salad. Enjoy!
