METHOD:
- Place the chickpeas, coriander, spinach, cumin seeds, turmeric, paprika and minced garlic in a food processor and process until the mixture comes together.
- Tip into a bowl and add the gram (or plain flour), Flahavan’s Organic Jumbo Oats and season to taste with salt and pepper. Work this into the mixture using your hands.
- Use two spoons to shape the mixture into 8-10 Koftas, and place to one side.
- Put the sliced red onion in a small bowl, cover with hot water and leave aside.
- After 10 minutes, drain and squeeze out the excess water, place the onion in a small bowl and season with salt. Then, stir in the juice of half a lemon and leave to one side.
- Mix together the tahini and lemon juice.
- Following this, dilute the mixture with enough water to achieve a pourable consistency and season generously with salt and pepper.
To Make the Flat Breads; - Tip the flour into a mixing bowl and whisk in the baking powder, 2 tbsp Flahavan’s Organic Jumbo Oats and a pinch of salt.
- Add the yogurt to the mix and stir with the handle of a wooden spoon until the mixture starts to come together.
- Use your hands to form the dough and knead until soft and springy (about 5 mins), adding in a little more flour if it starts to feel too sticky.
- Divide the dough into 4 equal sized pieces.
- Generously flour a clean work surface and rolling pin and roll the dough into the desired shape for your flat breads.
- Sprinkle over the remaining Flahavan’s Organic Jumbo Oats and lightly press them into the dough using the rolling pin.
- Heat a large frying pan or griddle pan over a medium heat and cook the flat breads for a couple of minutes on each side until golden brown and puffed.
- Brush them with a little of the melted butter and keep warm by covering them with a clean tea towel.
- Heat 3 tbsp of olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat.
- Add the koftas and cook for a couple of minutes on each side until browned and crisped on all sides.
To Serve; - Place the koftas onto your flat breads, along with a handful of the pink pickles and some salad. Drizzle with the tahini sauce, and enjoy!
