Easy Vegetarian Kofta Curry

My mother-in-law is Indian and let me in on a secret: The vegetable balls from IKEA® make for a great and ridiculously easy vegetarian kofta curry. This is ready in just about 30 minutes, making it perfect for a weeknight. Serve with basmati rice.

INGRIDIENT

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon butter

1 teaspoon cumin seeds

3 green cardamom pods

2 whole cloves

1 cinnamon stick

1 bay leaf

½ onion, grated

1 (2 inch) piece ginger root, peeled and grated

1 clove garlic, crushed

1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes

1 teaspoon ground coriander

½ teaspoon ground turmeric

½ teaspoon ground cumin

½ teaspoon garam masala

½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (Optional)

½ teaspoon salt, or to taste

¼ cup whole milk yogurt

24 frozen meatless vegetable meatballs (such as IKEA®'s frozen vegetable balls)

¼ cup hot water, or as needed

DIRECTION

Step: 1

Heat olive oil and butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds, cardamom pods, whole cloves, cinnamon stick, and bay leaf. Cook until spices start to sputter, about 1 minute. Stir in onion, ginger, and garlic. Cook and stir until onion is softened and just starting to brown, about 5 minutes.

Step: 2

Stir in diced tomatoes, coriander, turmeric, cumin, garam masala, cayenne, and salt. Bring mixture to a gentle simmer; add yogurt and stir well. Add frozen vegetable balls. Pour in hot water to thin sauce slightly to desired consistency. Bring mixture back to a simmer and cook, covered, until sauce is thickened and vegetable balls are heated through, 10 to 15 minutes.
