Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Chickpea flour
- 100 milliliters Olive oil for frying
Instructions
In a food processor, combine the drained and rinsed chickpeas, onion, garlic, parsley, cilantro, olive oil, baking powder, cumin, coriander, salt, and black pepper. Pulse until the mixture is well blended and fairly smooth, but not too pureed. You want to retain some texture.
Transfer the mixture into a large bowl and stir in the chickpea flour until everything is well combined. The mixture should be thick enough to form into patties.
Using your hands, scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and form into small patties about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat the additional olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the patties in the pan, cooking them in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp.
Once cooked, remove the fritters from the pan and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauce or a light salad.
