CHICKPEA FRITTER PUFFS

Chickpea Fritter Puffs

Recipe by: fifteenspatulas

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup organic chickpea flour
• 1/2 tsp pink himalayan salt
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp organic cumin
• 1/4 tsp organic curry powder
• 1/2 tsp organic garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp organic onion granulates
• 2 tsp organic lemon juice
• 1/2 cup hot water
• about 1/4 cup organic olive oil for frying

1. Whisk to combine the chickpea flour, salt, baking soda, cumin, curry powder, garlic powder, and onion powder.
2. 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 and get even thicker.
3. Heat up a nonstick skillet over medium high heat, and add enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
4. 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.
5. Let the patties cook for about 2 minutes on each side until they’re golden brown, and you’ll see them puff up considerably.
6. Drain them briefly on paper towels after frying and enjoy them while they’re hot!
7. You can serve them with a sprinkle of good quality salt or some tzatziki sauce. Enjoy!
