Cup of Yum
Chickpea Patties
- Drain canned chickpeas and gently dry them with a kitchen towel. Transfer them to a large bowl and mash them coarsely using a potato masher or mortar.
- To the mashed chickpeas, add cumin, black pepper, salt, green onions, garlic, flour, and egg. Use a fork to mix until all ingredients are evenly combined. Then, lightly knead the mixture with your hands until it reaches a dough-like consistency.
- Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat and add oil. Spoon about 3 tablespoons of the chickpea mixture into the hot oil, then use the back of the spoon to shape it into a rough patty. Fry each patty for 3-4 minutes on each side or until they turn golden brown.
- Repeat the process with the remaining chickpea mixture, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Serve the chickpea patties with the prepared dill-garlic yogurt sauce.
Notes
- Cool cooked patties on a wire rack to avoid sogginess from excess oil absorbed on paper towels.
