2 cups	Pumpkin, (grated)
2 tbsp	Rice flour
2 tbsp	Ground almonds
½ cup	Ricotta cheese
2 tsp	Fresh ginger, (finely chopped)
1 tsp	Ground tumeric
1 tsp	Chilli, (finely chopped, plus extra to serve)
2 tbsp	Fresh coriander, (finely chopped, plus extra to serve)
1	Egg
1	Vegetable oil
1 to serve	Yoghurt
1 to serve	Roti
1 to serve	Lemon

In a large bowl, put the pumpkin, flour, almonds, ricotta, ginger, turmeric, chilli and coriander.
Whisk an egg with a fork and add. Add salt to taste and mix all together thoroughly.
Heat a large heavy based fry pan. Add just enough oil to cover the base. Shape the mixture into small balls.
This may be easier with wet hands. Slightly flatten each kofta then cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden.
Serve hot with a squeeze of lemon, yoghurt and warmed roti. Extra chopped chilli and coriander can be offered.
