Recipe

To prepare the koftas, grate the paneer and zucchini by hand or in a food processor.
Add all kofta ingredients to a food processor, and grind until combined and broken down to the size of rough breadcrumbs.
Place in the refrigerator for at least half an hour.
Preheat oven to 180 °C/ 355 °F.Remove the mixture from the fridge and convert it into 20 small balls
Place on a greased tray, and bake 30 minutes, turning halfway through.
Make the sauce while the koftas are baking. Add the onion, tomato, chili, fennel seeds, ginger, garlic, coconut and water to a high-powdered blender and blend until smooth.
Now add the oil to a skillet over medium heat. Add bay leaves and cook for a few seconds. Add the ground spices and whisk in, stirring a few times to coat, and then add the tomato mixture.
Then add the coconut cream and mix to combine.
Next, cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally so the onion gets well roasted. Season with salt to taste.
The koftas are perfect if quickly panfried to reheat.
These koftas can be served on their own topped with a spoonful of the korma sauce. Serve with some steamed greens, on top of some cauliflower rice, or in a keto tortilla/wrap.
