1

To make the kofta, process hemp seeds or nuts until coarse, then add potato and process until coarse as well. Add remaining ingredients and pulse until most of the chickpeas have broken down but not turned into a paste. If you don't have a processor, use nut or seed flour and grated potato, then mash chickpeas and mix.

The potato will add moisture for shaping. Avoid letting the mixture sit too long. Add more flour or starch if too moist, and you can also add nutritional yeast for a cheesier flavor. Shape 2-3 tbsp of the mixture into 1.5-inch balls and bake until golden on most sides.
