Healthy Baked Spinach Beans Fritters Kofta

Healthy Baked Spinach Beans Fritters Koftas balls for curries

This healthy Baked Spinach Beans fritters are prepared with homey ingredients and instead of baking do shallow fry or air fry as per your choice. I have given gluten free options for

bread crumbs, so and so…These healthy fritters can have as it is with hot coffee or tea, also be used in kofta curries, spaghetti sauces or as pizza toppings etc. I have slightly different deep fried meat less (veg) malai kofta balls recipe here…I usually add/top the mini version of these koftas in vegetarian pizzas and tastes awesome…The color looks dull but it tastes great and just melts in mouth. Check the pictures
below and I am going to come with the pizza recipe in very next post…

Variations

  1. When you soak 1 cup beans it yields 2 cups so you can half the quantity as per family needs.
  2. You can deep fry or shallow fry this balls.
  3. You can add finely chopped capsicum or green chili’s as per your taste.
  4. If you want you can spray little oil before baking.
  5. Also you can lightly saute onion and spinach with a tbsp of oil if like so…
  6. For gluten free option instead of bread crumbs do use corn flour or rice flour but a less quantity just to bind the dough.
  7. In Video i used Ponnanganni greens from my garden.
