Crispy Chickpea Fritters

Preparing the Fritter Batter In a food processor, combine the drained chickpeas, flour, cumin powder, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Mixing the Batter Add water gradually to the mixture until you achieve a thick batter consistency. Transfer the batter to a bowl and let it rest for 10 minutes.

Preparing the Dipping Sauce In a separate bowl, mix Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, salt, and pepper to prepare the dipping sauce. Set aside.

Frying the Fritters Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Take spoonfuls of the batter and gently drop them into the hot oil. Fry the fritters until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Serving the Fritters Remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve the crispy chickpea fritters hot with the prepared dipping sauce and enjoy!
