Use an ice cream scoop to form uniform balls out of the chickpea mixture (grease scoop so batter doesn't stick too much).
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.
Serve on a pita with cucumber, tomato, red onion, and Tahini Sauce.
