The secret of this recipe is to use raw beans, not cooked ones.
Ingredients
1 1/3 cups garbanzo beans
6 scallions
2 tablespoons coriander seeds
2 teaspoons cumin seeds
1 clove garlic
2 teaspoons chopped parsley
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
6 scallions
2 tablespoons coriander seeds
2 teaspoons cumin seeds
1 clove garlic
2 teaspoons chopped parsley
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
Directions
Cover the garbanzo beans with cold water and leave to soak overnight. Drain well and grind the beans in a food processor.
Chop the scallions finely. Grind the coriander and cumin. Mince the garlic.
Combine all the remaining ingredients with the garbanzo beans in a large bowl. Mix thoroughly.
Form the mix into small balls about the size of a walnut. Deep-fry them in oil which has been heated to 350-375 degrees until they are golden. Drain thoroughly on paper towels.
