Ingredients
- 400 grams Canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 medium Onion, chopped
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 20 grams Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 50 grams Gluten-free flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 100 milliliters Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
In a food processor, combine the drained chickpeas, chopped onion, minced garlic, and fresh parsley. Pulse until the mixture is coarsely blended.
Transfer the chickpea mixture to a large bowl. Add ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, black pepper, gluten-free flour, and baking powder. Mix everything until well combined.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of the chickpea mixture and shape them into small patties.
Place the patties into the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauce or a side salad.
