Vegetable Curry with Lentil and Brown Rice “Meat” Balls

When temperatures begin to drop, nothing hits the spot like a warm bowl of spiced curry. The Chef Soraya Kathmandu Curry bowl has over 15 spices blended together with lentils, brown rice, hemp, and quinoa to deliver authentic flavor in a warm and hearty meal. For a new way to enjoy our classic curry bowl, try out our new 100% plant-based lentil and brown rice “meat” ball recipe, complete with Coconut Curry sauce!

To begin, prepare 2 Chef Soraya Kathmandu Curry bowls. Try not to add too much liquid, the less liquid the easier it will be for the mixture to stick together. While rehydrating the bowls, prepare your egg alternative. All you need is 1 T of flax meal mixed with 2 T of water and allow it so stand for up to 15 minutes. When the bowls have rehydrated, pour the contents into a food processor. Pulse several times to create a paste but to not puree the mixture, you still want a little bit of texture. Now add your egg alternative mixture which is the equivalent of one egg if you’d prefer to use eggs instead. With wet hands, form 1-inch balls with the mixture and place them on a parchment lined baking sheet. Make sure they are not touching. Now all you need to do is bake at 400 degrees F for 20 minutes while you prepare the curry.

We partnered with out sister company, Colorado Spice, for a quick and easy curry recipe that takes no time at all to prepare! All you need is about 1 ½ C of stir fry veggies, water, and a Colorado Spice Coconut Curry Sauce packet. We chose to use cauliflower, red ball pepper, mushrooms, and onion in this recipe but you can use whatever stir fry veggies you have on hand. In a medium skillet, sauté your sliced and chopped veggies in the cooking oil of your choice. Cook until the veggies are al dente, meaning they’re still a little bit crisp. Now all you need to do is stir in the Colorado Spice Coconut Curry Sauce packet with 1 C water, and you’re all set! Let the mixture simmer until the sauce reaches the desired consistency and you’re ready to serve! Top it off with your lentil and brown rice “meat” balls warm from the oven and enjoy!
