👨‍🍳 Instructions

Mash chickpeas in a bowl using a masher.

Combine mashed chickpeas, onions, parsley, and garlic in a blender and blend until smooth.

Mix eggs, cumin, coriander, salt, lemon juice, baking powder, black pepper, and cayenne together in a bowl.

Add chickpea mixture and mix together.

Add bread crumbs slowly and combine using your hands until mixture isn't sticky, but will hold together when frying.

Heat oil over medium-high heat in a skillet.

Form mixture into about 12 patties about as wide as the palm of your hand.

Fry patties in the hot oil until browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
