I bumped into this dish the other day at a restaurant and I loved it. Found out the proprietors have family in Rhodes. I decided to ask them about how they make it... They gave me an explanation but not a concrete recipe, so I decided to look around. I found this recipe, tried it, made some tweaks, etc. This is my recipe now!
Ingrdients:
1. Soak the chickpeas overnight or for at least 8 hours in plenty of water.
2. Drain and rinse the chickpeas and put them in a food processor.
3. Add the onion, garlic, cumin, salt, black pepper, and baking powder to the food processor. Pulse the mixture until it is well combined but not completely smooth.
4. Transfer the chickpea mixture to a bowl and stir in the parsley and mint.
5. Form small patties with your hands, about the size of a golf ball.
6. Heat the olive oil in a deep-frying pan over medium heat.
7. Add the patties to the oil, but do not overcrowd the pan.
8. Fry the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
9. Transfer the patties to a paper towel-lined plate to drain the excess oil.
