- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt

- 4 pieces pita bread

Instructions
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly, place them into a food processor.
Roughly chop the onion and garlic cloves, then add them into the food processor with the chickpeas.
Add fresh parsley, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, salt, black pepper, and flour into the food processor.
Pulse the mixture until it forms a coarse paste. Ensure it's well combined but not too smooth.
Divide the chickpea mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each one into a small patty.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Place the patties into the skillet, and cook them for 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy.
While the patties cook, prepare the yogurt sauce by mixing plain yogurt, a squeeze of lemon juice, and chopped mint in a bowl.
Slice the cucumber and tomatoes into thin slices.
Slice open the pita breads, and toast them lightly if desired.
To assemble the sandwiches, spread a spoonful of the yogurt sauce inside each pita bread.
Place slices of cucumber and tomato inside the pita, followed by 2 chickpea patties.
Drizzle more yogurt sauce over the top and add additional mint leaves if desired.
Serve the vegetarian kebab sandwiches warm.
