Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams canned chickpeas
- 1 small onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 30 grams fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 60 grams chickpea flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 500 milliliters vegetable oil
Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly.
In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, chopped onion, garlic cloves, and fresh parsley. Blend until you achieve a coarse mixture.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and add cumin powder, coriander powder, salt, black pepper, chickpea flour, and baking soda. Mix well until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Roll the mixture into small bite-sized balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter. Ensure they are compact so they hold together while frying.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or a saucepan over medium heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).
Carefully drop a few balls into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry the balls for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried balls from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the dairy-free crispy fried balls warm as a snack or appetizer with your favorite dipping sauce.
