Preparation:

Kofta:
In a large bowl add all ingredients marked with *. Squeeze out excess milk from the bread and add the bread to the mixture. Add the beaten egg and mix well. Roll small handfuls of the mixture into little "golf balls". Keep aside for a few minutes.

Heat oil in a pan and fry kofta until golden brown turning at least once. Remove from oil and allow to drain.

Chutney:
Fry onions until brown, then add cinnamon sticks and chillies, and allow to fry for a few moments. Then add green pepper, pomegranate seeds, garlic and tomatoes. Cover and allow to cook. When tomatoes have melted, add the chilli powder, salt, black pepper and sugar. Allow to cook for a few minutes before adding the prepared kofta. Cook for a further 5 minutes. Sprinkle a handful of coriander or mint or spring onions over the chutney (you can use any one or a combination of any 2 or 3 herbs).

Spaghetti:
Prepare spaghetti as per instructions on its packaging. Drain. Add the sweetcorn and butter to the spaghetti and mix (no further cooking required).
