In a 10” stir fry pan, heat 2 tbs cooking oil over medium high heat. Add coconut and cook until slightly brown. Next add garlic, onion, jalapeno (or chili pepper), curry powder. Cook for 2 minutes and then reduce to medium heat.
Add Nutrela (which you prepared as above), carrots, beans, and salt. Combine thoroughly and let cook with lid on top. Let cook for approx 3 minutes or until vegetables are cooked through.
Uncover the pan and increase the heat a bit. Cook until the water that was released by vegetables dries out. Then turn off heat.
Add garam masala, cashews, raisins, and cilantro. Combine thoroughly for approx 2 minutes. Then set aside for a few minutes to allow mixture to cool down.
Add mashed potato (as prepared above) to cooked vegetables and combine thoroughly. Potato will serve as a binder. Use a candy or melon scooper to make approx 30 (1” diameter) balls. Set these aside on a large dinner platter.
In a 1 or 2 qt sauce pan, bring 1/3 cup of water to boil over high heat. Add corn starch and boil over medium heat for 4-5 minutes (stirring frequently) to make liquid starch. Set aside for a few minutes to allow it to cool before working with it.
Place 2 cups of Panko on a medium platter. Place liquid starch in a bowl. Dip one ball at a time in the starch and roll over the Panko. Place on a clean dinner platter. (Starch will act like glue to help Panko stick to balls). After you have breaded all the balls, repeat the process by re-dipping balls in starch and rolling in Panko again. Let the balls rest for approx 5 minutes at room temperature - this will allow Panko to settle on the veggie balls.
Over medium high heat in 10” stir fry pan, place rest of cooking oil and wait until it has heated up. Fry 4-5 balls at a time until golden brown all over. Adjust the heat as necessary during frying.
Serve immediately with cilantro dipping sauce (you can substitute with any store-bought cilantro chutney or tomato ketchup)
