Ingredients

• 2 medium potatoes, boiled and mashed
• 1 cup mixed vegetables, finely chopped (carrots, peas, beans)
• 1/2 cup bread crumbs
• 1 tsp ginger garlic paste
• 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
• 1/2 tsp cumin powder

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, mixed vegetables, bread crumbs, ginger garlic paste, turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala, fresh coriander leaves, and cornflour. Mix well to form a dough-like consistency.
2. Shape the mixture into small, toddler-friendly sized balls (about 1 inch in diameter).
3. Heat oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the kofta balls and cook until golden brown on all sides. Remove from the pan and set aside.
4. In the same pan, add cumin seeds and let them splutter. Add tomato puree, yogurt, red chili powder, and a little water. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Gently add the kofta balls into the curry, making sure they are coated well. Cook for another 5 minutes.
