• In a food processor, pulse the cabbage until they are finely shredded.
  Half cabbage shredded - Approx 2 cups
• Transfer the cabbage shreds to a cheese-cloth lined colander or a large mesh strainer and let sit for 30 minutes.
• Mix the following ingredients in a food processor: Chickpeas, nutritional yeast, salt, red chili powder, turmeric powder, garlic powder mix well.
  1 tablespoon nutritional yeast, 1 teaspoon red chili powder, ½ teaspoon turmeric powder, Salt, ½ cup cooked chickpeas, 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• Squeeze out as much water as possible from the cabbage and add the Chickpea mixture.
• Mix by hand and add gram flour gradually, to get the right consistency to make round shaped balls.
  ¼ cup gram flour / Besan
• Grease hands with a little bit of oil. Scoop out small bits of the mixture onto your palms and form little balls. I like to use a tablespoon measure for each scoop so that they come out even.
• Now place the "appe pan" on medium heat with a drop of oil in every slot. As the oil heats up, place the kofta balls and fry evenly. After about 2 minutes, turn them over to the other side.
• Fry until golden brown on all sides.
• Set aside until gravy is ready.

To prepare gravy :

• Place a pan with a few teaspoons of oil and saute cinnamon sticks, cloves, and cardamom.
  ½ inch cinnamon stick, 4 cloves, 5-6 cardamom
• After 30 seconds add ginger followed up with onions.
  ½ inch ginger chopped, 1 onion chopped
• Saute until the onions turn transparent and then add tomatoes, spices (listed above), and chopped garlic. Place a cover on top and let it simmer.
  1 teaspoon red chili powder, 1 onion chopped, 2 tomatoes, ½ teaspoon garlic powder or 2 garlic cloves, ½ teaspoon turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon Coriander powder, ½ teaspoon red chili powder
• After about 2-3 minutes, add coconut milk and cook for another 2 minutes.
  1 ½ cup of coconut milk
• Blend the mixture to a smooth and creamy consistency.
• Cook the gravy for 2 minutes over medium heat and add Garam Masala and continue to stir well.
  1 teaspoon Garam Masala
• Once the garam masala is mixed evenly, add all the koftas and let them simmer for about 4-5 minutes.
• Garnish with cilantro and serve with steamed rice or Indian roti.
