Veggie balls recipe/ IKEA veggie balls

On our recent visit to Ikea, I stumbled across veggie balls on the menu and to me it sounded more like an indian stuff. After all, we make halo tikki and other similar ticks like cutlet which look so close to veggie balls. Also, lentil soup is our very own staple daal😂. Not to my surprise when I tasted the veggie balls, it tasted like European version of indian cutlet with kale instead of spinach and herbs instead of our very own masalas. Anyway, I must say this is one of the best possible way to eat kale. 

I tried to replicate the recipe and chose to bake instead of frying. Well, the result was pretty similar.
