Today, we turn the spotlight on Potato & Fig Kofta, one of our most popular gluten-free vegetarian dishes. Chopped mission figs stuffed into oven-roasted russet potatoes, spiced and fried before adding into a decadent, aromatic yogurt-based sauce finished with a tempering of mace & cardamom. Did you know that kofta is a family of meatball dishes found all over the world? In Greece and Cyprus, vegetarian versions are known as hortokeftedes, in Turkey they have çi köfte and in Europe, it's often served in a fast-food sandwich in kebab shops. #glutenfree #gffmag #vegetarianrecipes #healthyish #bonappetit

Our take on Indian food may be modern but we serve it proudly with a side of nostalgia."
