Ingredients
- Kofta
- 2 cups of grated veggies ( I used zucchini, sweet potato, carrot and broccoli. And make sure you use any stalks you can, no waste here.)
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 1/2 cups chickpea/besan flower

Instructions
Kofta
- Mix all ingredients together and squeeze firmly. Leave to sit for 30 mins
- Roll tablespoon amounts of the dough into balls. You’ll make about 24.
- Cook, rolling in the pan until balls are browned on all sides, about 4-5 minutes.
Sauce
- Heat oil and butter in pan until butter is melted.
- Add bay leaves and allow to fry for 1 minute.
- Add remaining ingredients, and allow to simmer for 3 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and remove bay leaves and blend sauce with stick blender.
- Return to the heat and add kofta.
- Serve with rice or couscous.
This looks like it would be a good one for Ollie too. I am guessing this is one of the recipe you had no words for? You still managed to make me giggle!

I’m so glad Claire. Yep, Elliot loved these, so I think they’re a good ‘kid friendly’ recipe.

I love how there’s no wastage because you use the stalks. This is a really flavourful way to use up vegetables in the bottom of the crisper xx

Hi Clare
We made this tonight to feed two so I halved the recipe and substituted some spices .
We will make it again thank you
It was pretty good – I think a tomato and coconut sauce would be good too and instead of rice I will try quinoa or even put the patties into flat bread.
This was the third recipe of yours that we have tried and all good ππ»
We make the veg burgers every month and the pumpkin and lentil sausage rolls were a success too
Appreciate your efforts
