Those who like falafel will love these tasty curried chickpea patties which have tons of crunch and flavor, but they’re not deep-fried. Eat them straight from the pan or make them ahead of time to... store in the refrigerator or freezer. Serve them on top of dressed greens or tuck them into pita bread and drizzle with tart yogurt sauce for a fast, tasty lunch or dinner.
Combine chickpeas, onions, garlic and eggs in a food processor. Blend until the mixture has the texture of a chunky hummus, leaving some large chickpea pieces.
Transfer the chickpea mixture to a large bowl and combine with the remaining ingredients. Mix well. Form into 4 patties or 12 small patties if you want to eat in a pita pocket. The mixture should be very wet to ensure a moist patty, but if you are having trouble forming them, stir in more breadcrumbs- 1 tablespoon at a time.
Combine all ingredients for the yogurt sauce. Taste for seasoning and set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Drop the patties into the pan with space in between. Do this in batches if necessary. Cook for 5 minutes, then carefully flip and cook the other side for another 5 minutes or until golden and cooked through. Serve on a warm bun or pita pocket with the yogurt sauce.
Chef Tips
These patties will keep in the fridge for 3 days. If frozen, let them gently defrost in the body of the fridge for 3-4 hours until soft, or run cold water over the bag until the patties are soft.
Heat them up either over a medium low heat in a lightly oiled skillet, or loosely wrapped in foil in a low oven, or on a glass or ceramic plate in the microwave.
