Kitchen Adventures: Beef Kofta Curry

Full Title: Beef Kofta Curry with Fluffy Rice, Beans and Peas. Curry in a hurry! 

Ingredients: Puy Lentils, Garam Masala, Hamburger, Olive Oil, Tomatoes, Ginger Root, Green Onions, Red Chili, Cilantro, Turmeric, Honey, Patak's Rogan Josh Curry Paste, Light Coconut Milk, Fat Free Yogurt, Lemon, Basmati Rice, Cardamom Pods, Green Beans, Frozen Peas, Pappadums

I never thought that I would like Indian but I am quickly becoming a fan. Beef Kofta is made with hamburger and lentils plus garam masala. The rice was good but I would really suggest NEVER biting into a cardamom pod. The flavor is really intense and not good. It was a nice touch to the rice though. The pappadums are not fried; they are microwaved until they are puffy and crisp. You crumble them up and put them in the curry. Great dish. Great leftovers. 4 out of 5. 706 calories for 2 pieces of kofta, sauce and rice.
