Squeeze out all the excess water. Combine all the grated vegetables and season with salt and pepper, garlic powder, egg, and cornstarch. Mix well and form into balls (Each ball ~ 2 tablespoons). Heat oil in a deep-frying pan over medium heat. Place the vegetable balls into the hot oil and fry until they turn golden brown and crispy (8-9 minutes). Fry them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Once the vegetable balls are cooked, remove them from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Serve the crispy vegetable balls hot with sauce of your liking. For the tomato sauce: Heat the oil in a saucepan. Add the sliced onion and the crushed garlic, toss until coated, cover, and sweat on a gentle heat until soft and golden. Add the tinned tomatoes to the onion mixture. Season with sugar, salt and ground pepper.
