Ingredients


1 can (15oz) Chickpeas, canned, drained
2 clove(s) Garlic
90 gm White onion (about 3 tablespoons)
1 tsp Cumin
1/2 tsp Turmeric, ground
1 tsp Sea Salt
2 tbsp Parsley, fresh
1 tbsp Water
1 tbsp Lemon juice
3 tbsp Chickpea flour
1 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil

Instructions


  1. Use an ice cream scoop to form uniform balls out of the chickpea mixture (grease scoop so batter doesn't stick too much).
  2. Heat a heavy skillet with the oil. When it’s hot enough, drop formed batter balls into pan. Sauté over medium heat for 5 - 10 minutes per side. They are done when crisp and golden brown. Drain on paper towels when finished.
  3. Serve on a pita with cucumber, tomato, red onion, and Tahini Sauce.
