Ingredients
- Bread crumbs [1.5 cups, divided]
- Chickpeas (aka Garbanzo beans) [30 oz, ~2 cans]
- Coconut milk [13.5 oz, ~1 can]
- Curry paste or powder [1-2 tbs]
- Egg [1]
- Garlic [3 cloves]
- Margarine or butter [enough to make the balls cohere]
- Onion [2 small to medium]
- Parsley [2 tbs]
- Pepper [to taste]
- Salt [to taste]
- Vegetable oil [for pan frying]
Directions
- Chop onion and parsley. Mince garlic.
- In a large bowl, mash chickpeas.
- Add butter to skillet. Heat on medium-low.
- Mix mashed chickpeas with 6 oz (3/4 cup) breadcrumbs and with the parsley. Add a pinch or two of salt and pepper.
- Saute onion and garlic in butter until garlic turns golden.
- Add chickpea mixture to skillet and mix well with onion, garlic, and butter.
- Remove skillet from heat. Let cool ~5 minutes.
- Mold chickpea mixture into small balls, about 1.5 inches in diameter. There should be enough mixture to form around sixteen balls of this size.
- Crack egg into small bowl and beat well.
- Coat balls in beaten egg and coat with remaining 3/4 cup of breadcrumbs. (I put the breadcrumbs in a small bowl and roll around the chickpea balls in that bowl to coat them thoroughly.)
- Add vegetable oil to skillet. Heat to medium-low.
- Pan fry chickpea balls until golden brown; remove.
- Add coconut milk to skillet. Heat to simmer.
- Add 1 tbsp of curry paste or powder (even Wal-Mart carries it nowadays if you don't want to make your own!). Stir until dissolved. If you want the dish to be spicier, add more curry until you're satisfied.
- Serve 3-5 chickpea balls on a bed of basmati rice (or whatever kind you happen to have on hand) and cover with the curry sauce. Enjoy!
