  3. Add the plant-based mince to the bowl with the onion, garlic, and herbs, and season with black pepper. Then, using your hands, shape the mixture into six sausage-shaped koftas.

  4. Heat a griddle pan over a medium heat and add the koftas. Cook them for 2 minutes on each side then transfer to a baking tray and cook in the oven for a further 10 minutes.
