How to make Suran Kofta Curry Recipe - Yam Kofta Curry
To begin making the Suran Kofta Curry Recipe, prepare all the ingredients for the kofta and keep them aside.
We will begin with making the curry for the Suran kofta.
In a mixer jar, combine tomatoes, ginger, green chilli, and pudina leaves and grind to a fine puree along with some water.
Heat a kadai on medium flame, add jeera. Once the jeera starts to crackle, add tomato puree and stir the tomato puree for a couple of minutes.
To this, add the dry masalas - cumin powder, garam masala powder, salt and a pinch of sugar.
Bring the tomato puree masala to a boil, turn the the heat to low and simmer the tomato kofta curry for 4 to 5 minutes until the raw taste goes away and feels cooked.
Once the tomato kofta curry is cooked, turn off the heat and keep aside. Check the salt and spices and adjust to taste. The gravy of the Suran Kofta Curry recipe is ready.
Wash and peel the yam/ suran, dice and set aside.
In a pressure cooker, place the diced yam, 1/4 cup of water and pressure cook for 4 whistles and turn off the heat. Let the pressure release naturally.
Open the cooker, drain the water, and transfer the yam/ suran into a mixing bowl and mash the suran to a smooth mixture using a potato masher.
Into the mashed suran, add the besan, green chilli & ginger and salt. Bring the suran kofta mixture together. Check the salt and adjust the taste accordingly. Shape the kofta mixture into small balls.
Place a paniyaram pan on heat. Add a little oil in each of the cavities.
Once the oil has heated, place the suran kofta into the cavities and pan fry them until it is golden and crisp on all sides.
Flip it upside down and continue to cook until done. Once the suran koftas turn golden brown and look crisp they are done. The koftas are ready.
Add these Suran koftas in to the prepared kofta curry and let them sit for at least 5 minutes before serving.
