How to Prepare Vegetable Kofta:

Step 1:
Begin by boiling the potatoes in plenty of water without peeling them. Wash the potatoes and place them in the pot to boil. Once boiled, remove them from the pot and let them cool for a short time before peeling. Mash the warm potatoes and set them aside.

Step 2:
Peel the carrots, slice them into thick rounds, and boil them in water until they are soft enough to mash. Once done, mash the carrots into small pieces and set them aside to cool.

Step 3:
In a deep bowl, add the mashed potatoes, mashed carrots, peas, chopped green onion, cilantro, parsley, mint, mixed spices, salt, black pepper, cumin, paprika, chili flakes, and ground cilantro. Mix everything well using your hands until the mixture becomes a slightly coarse dough.

Step 4:
Form small, equal-sized patties from the vegetable mixture and place them on a tray. Refrigerate the patties for 15 minutes to allow them to firm up.

Step 5:
Meanwhile, prepare a wide bowl by adding the egg, salt, pepper, cinnamon, and paprika. Whisk them together until well combined. Place the breadcrumbs in another deep bowl.

Step 6:
Heat the sunflower oil in a pan over medium heat until hot. Dip each kofta patty into the egg mixture, then coat it with breadcrumbs. Fry the patties in the hot oil, flipping them after a few seconds to ensure both sides are golden brown.

Step 7:
Once cooked, transfer the kofta to a serving plate.

And that's how you prepare delicious vegetable kofta! We hope you enjoy this recipe.
