Preparation

Step 1

Whisk to combine the chickpea flour, salt, baking soda, cumin, coriander, curry powder, garlic powder, and onion powder. Once the dry ingredients are blended, add the lemon juice and water, and stir to combine (it will be a thick, lumpy mixture). Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to give the chickpea flour a chance to hydrate (it will get even thicker!)

Heat up a nonstick skillet over medium high heat, and add enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Use a cookie scoop to portion out small mounds of the chickpea mixture into the hot oil, then coat a spatula with oil and lightly press the tops to smush the mounds down into patties. Let the patties cook for about 2 minutes on each side until they're golden brown, and you'll see them puff up considerably. Drain them briefly on paper towels after frying and enjoy them while they're hot! You can serve them with a sprinkle of good quality salt or some tzatziki sauce. Enjoy!
