Cufte u kokosovom mlijeku

Evo nacina da nase drage, staromodne cufte uvedemo u 21. stoljece!

Ovaj me recept odusevio. Potpuno nesvakidasnje mesne okruglice. Brza priprema je dodatni garant da cu ih spremati veoma cesto. Za ovaj recept sam koristila svjeze Menprom fasirano meso. Bile su mekane, socne i ukusne.

Potrebno:
Menprom fasirano meso (za 2 -3 porcije dovoljno je manje pakovanje 350 gr) 
Pola solje prezle
3-4 kasike mlijeka
Crveni luk 
Bijeli luk 
Chilly papricice (svjeze jedan komad)
Chilly papricice (suhe, 1 komad ili chilly zacin) 
Djumbir (komad velicine palca) 
Zacini: so, biber, korijander, cardamom, kurkuma, cimet
Maslinovo ulje 
Kokosovo mlijeko 
 
Priprema:
 
Na maslinovom ulju predinstati vecu glavicu ustnjenog crvenog i nekoliko cehni bijelog luka. Posolite I pobiberite I dodajte suhu chilly papricicu ili malo chilly zacina. 
 
Menprom fasirano meso posoliti i pobiberiti. 
 
U pola solje prezle staviti 3 - 4 kasike mlijeka, pa prezlu dodati mesu. Potom, u smjesu istresite i dinstani luk. Izgnjavite i oblikujte kuglice. Ako vam se meso mnogo lijepi za dlanove, pospite ih brasnom. 
 
Zagrijati maslinovo ulje. Cufte poredajte tako da vam sredina tave ostane prazna kako biste u nju stavili djumbir i zacine. Dok se cuftice dinstaju na srednje jakoj temperaturi, u jednu zdjelicu sitno isijecite djumbir, jednu svjezu chilly papricicu, dodajte tome po jednu kasicicu kurkume, korijander sjemenki, 2 – 3 zrna kardamoma, pola kasicice cimeta.

Sve to stavite u sredinu tave, pa protresite da se rasporedi po cijeloj povrsini i da mirisi obgrizu meso. Okrenite cufte da lagano porumene i sa druge strane. Dodajte pola solje temeljca (ili vode). Kada prokljuca, sipajte kokosovo mlijeko. Poklopite I neka se dinsta na laganoj vatri 10tak minuta. 
 
Na kraju iscijedite sok jedne limete i narendajte koricu limete preko. Promijesajte i spremno je za serviranje.
