Shared by Marium Hamid

Ingredients:

  1. 500 g dried Chickpea, soaked in water for 24 hours (3 cups)
  2. 1 clove Garlic
  3. ¼ Onion
  4. 2.5 g Coriander, ground (1 tsp)
  5. 2.5 g Cumin, ground (1 tsp)
  6. 1 g Parsley leaves, chopped (< 1/8 cup) (you can use coriander if you can’t find parsley)
  7. Salt to taste
  8. 5 ml Lemon juice (1 tsp)
  9. 2.5 g Black pepper (1 tsp)
  10. Oil As needed, for frying

Method:

  • Once the chickpeas have finished soaking, mash them in a bowl together with the spices until they are well-mixed, but not a purée.
  • If necessary, add a bit of water and adjust the salt, pepper and lemon according to taste.
  • Shape into balls, about the size and shape of a slightly flattened walnut, then let them rest in the refrigerator for a half hour.
  • Fry them in boiling oil for about five minutes, turning them, until they form a golden crust.
  • Serve with tahini (sesame sauce), hummus, or yogurt.
