Equipment

  • Food Processor

Ingredients
  

  • Canola Oil (For Frying)
  • 15 oz Canned Chickpeas
  • 2 whole Shallots (single yellow onion would suffice)
  • 1 tbsp Cumin
  • 1/4 cup Cilantro
  • 1 Pinch Cayenne Pepper
  • 1 Pinch Each Salt/Pepper
  • 6 Cloves Garlic
  • 1 Juice from a Lemon
  • 1 tbsp Flour
  • 1/4 cup Panko/Vegan Bread Crumbs

Instructions
 

  • In a food Processor add all ingredients EXCEPT Oil and Breadcrumbs/Panko. Blend mixture so it will hold together for frying.
  • Put in freezer to chill for 20 minutes. At 20 minutes start heating the oil.
  • Put the Bread Crumbs/Panko out on a plate. Roll the mixture into golf ball shaped balls or slightly more patty if making pita sandwiches. Coat them in the bread crumbs/panko.
  • Immediately put in the fryer and cook until just past golden brown. This ensures crispiness and thorough cook. Remove from oil and enjoy.
