ingredients

•     400g can chickpeas, drained

•     200g freshly mashed potato
•     2 tsp mild chilli powder
•     ¼ tsp turmeric
•     1 small egg, lightly beaten

•     2 tbsp finely chopped mint leaves
•     2 tsp roasted cumin seeds crushed
•     2 tbsp finely chopped coriander leaves

method

    Place the chickpeas and onion in a food processor and blend for 1-2 minutes or until roughly mashed. 

Transfer to a mixing bowl and add the potatoes, chilli powder, turmeric, egg, roasted coriander and cumin seeds and the chopped herbs. Season well with salt, cover and chill in the fridge for 5-6 hours or overnight.

    Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C Fan/Gas 6. Divide the chickpea mixture into 12 portions and shape each one into a flat cake or patty.
