Ingredients

2 cups of dried chickpeas, soaked in water for 12 hours or overnight

Crumbs from 2 slices of white bread

5 cloves of garlic, minced or finely chopped

2 tsps. baking soda

1/3 cup fresh parsley, chopped

1/2 cup chopped coriander

1/2 small - medium onion

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt, pepper

Oil for deep frying

Directions

Rinse the soaked chickpeas and put them in a food processor with garlic, onion and spices.

Grind until you get a rough moist texture.

Add a little water if needed.

Move the mixture into a large bowl, add the rest of the ingredients and set aside, covered for 45 - 55 minutes.

Warm the oil - it should be hot, not boiling.

Add the baking soda to the mixture and knead a little.

Wet your hands and shape into little balls or I take two spoons and shape them that way.

They should be about the size of an apricot.

Fry until they turn a deep golden brown shade.

Serve hot!
