Directions

1. 1

   Place the onion chunks and garlic clove in a food processor. Pulse for a few seconds until the mixture becomes a coarse paste.

2. 2

   Add the drained chickpeas, ground cumin, ground coriander, and chilli powder to the processor. Pulse until the mixture reaches a fairly smooth consistency with small visible bits remaining.

3. 3

   Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the fresh chopped coriander by hand. Season generously with salt and black pepper to taste, mixing well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

4. 4

   Using clean, damp hands, form the mixture into 6 equal balls. Press each ball gently into a flat, round patty shape, about ½ inch thick.

5. 5

   Scatter the flour on a small plate. Gently coat each patty with flour on both flat sides, dusting off any excess.

6. 6

   Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the patties in the pan. Cook for approximately 4 minutes on the first side until golden brown and crispy. Flip and cook the other side for another 4 minutes until similarly golden.

7. 7

   Remove the patties from the pan and serve immediately. Optionally, place inside warm pita bread with fresh lettuce and your choice of cooling sauce such as salsa or tzatziki.
