- 1
In a food processor, pulse the drained chickpeas until coarsely chopped. Do not over-process into a paste.
💡 Conseils de pro: Leaving some texture in the chickpeas provides a better mouthfeel. - 2
Add tahini, chopped parsley, cilantro, green onions, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to the food processor. Pulse until just combined.
💡 Conseils de pro: Avoid overmixing, which can make the fritters tough. - 3
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the 1/4 cup of flour until the mixture holds together. If it seems too wet, add a tablespoon more flour at a time.
💡 Conseils de pro: The consistency should be firm enough to shape into patties. - 4
Form the mixture into small patties, about 2 inches in diameter. Lightly dust each fritter with a little extra flour.
- 5
Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
💡 Conseils de pro: Test the oil temperature by dropping a tiny bit of the mixture in; it should sizzle immediately. - 6
Carefully place fritters in the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
⏱️ 8 minutes💡 Conseils de pro: Do not overcrowd the pan, as this will lower the oil temperature and result in greasy fritters. - 7
