Instruction
Preheat your oven to 220°C. Zest the lime. Roughly chop the coriander. Coarsely grate the carrot. Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Pop the carrot, chickpeas and half the coriander in a large bowl. Mix in the flour, North Indian curry powder, mango chutney and a pinch of salt and pepper. Squish together with your hands until the chickpeas are nicely broken up and mushy and the mixture sticks together. Keep to one side.

Give your hands a quick wash and then lay the sweet potato fries out in a single layer on a baking tray. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle on a splash of oil and half the cumin seeds. Roast in the middle of your oven until golden, 20-25 mins. Turn half way through cooking.
Instruction
Trim the root from the spring onion then thinly slice. Chop the vine tomato into 1cm chunks. Quarter the cucumber lengthways then chop into 1cm chunks. Mix together in a bowl and season with a pinch of salt, pepper and the remaining cumin seeds. Drizzle on the vinegar along with the olive oil (see ingredients for amount) and the remaining coriander. Mix again and set aside.
Instruction
Heat a splash of oil in a large frying pan over medium high heat. Shape the chickpea mix into two balls per person. Flatten each ball gently to 2cm thick and then fry in the hot oil until golden on both sides. This should take are around 2-3 mins on each side. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
Instruction
Meanwhile, halve the lime and squeeze a little of the juice into a bowl. Mix with the mayonnaise and keep to one side. TIP: You can add more lime if you like things zesty! When the fries are ready, remove from the oven. Pop the koftas in the oven to warm through if necessary.
Instruction
Share the fries between your plates and spoon the salad alongside. Pop the koftas on the plate and finish with a dollop of limey mayo to dip your chips in! Enjoy!
