Instructions

Grate/shred the zucchini and add to a bowl using a grater or processor. Lightly press the zucchini in a paper towel if there is too much moisture.
Add carrots, ginger, garlic, chili to a food processor and Process/chop until shredded and add to bowl. Or use grated carrots and minced ginger garlic chili
Add the chickpeas to the processor and Process chickpeas until coarsely blended, not fully a paste. Add to the bowl. (I use a mini food processor and it works really well for both the steps). Or you can mash the chickpeas with a masher
Make the Turkish spice blend : Crush the cumin coriander and black pepper using a mortar pestle. Or pulse in a spice grinder to a coarse meal. Heat 1/2 tsp oil in small skillet. When hot, add the crushed spices and cook until fragrant. You can also dry roast them until fragrant and use or add them unroasted.
Add the spices to the veggie chickpea bowl. Add cinnamon, cardamom, salt, flour, flax and mix well. Add flour and mix in. Add breadcrumbs if needed.
Form patties and cook with a little oil in a skillet over medium heat for 5 to 6 minutes per side.
To bake, Bake at 400 degrees F (205c) for 20 to 25 minutes. Broil to crisp for a minute.
Serve as snack or breakfast with chutneys, sriracha, ketchup, vegan tzatziki, vegan cucumber raita or ranch.

Notes

For variation: Use garam masala, berbere, cajun, shawarma or other spice blend instead of the spices, or use just toasted cumin seeds. Add chopped onion and cilantro.
