Instructions

Step 1
In a food processor add cauliflower, carrots, peas, corn and pulse to get a grated like consistency and remove into a bowl.
Step 2
Add mashed potato, green chilli, coriander and all the dry slices plus salt & pepper, and stir.
Step 3
Sprinkle some water on the bread and crush it, add this to the mixture along with the cornflour.
Step 4
Add 1tbs of cornflour at a time, add as much as needed to bind the mixture.
Step 5
Mix well, and make into small balls. Put to one side.
Step 6
Heat some oil in a small vessel, add a tiny piece of the mixture to test. If it turns dark too quickly the heat is too high, if it is crumbling add more bread or cornflour. If it turns golden brown the heat is correct.
Step 7
Once the heat is right, add the Koftas in small batches, flipping to ensure each Kofta is golden brown on each side.

Drain and stand on kitchen towel.
