Steps:
- Add the Greek yogurt, lime juice and zest in a small bowl.
- Finely chop the fresh mint leaves and add to the bowl as well.
- Season with salt and pepper and whisk until fully combined. NOTE: Depending on the type of Greek yogurt you are using (strained, light, full-fat) you may need to add a splash of water to make the dip a bit runnier according to your liking.
- Drain chickpeas in a strainer.
- In a small food processor, add the chickpeas, olive oil, garlic clove, and oregano. Blend until smooth.
- Transfer mixture into a mixing bowl and add the remaining ingredients for the fritters, except the flour. Season with salt and pepper.
- Mix well until fully combined. Then gradually stir in the flour one tablespoon at a time. The mixture should look like a sticky dough.
- Half fill a small pot or pan with frying oil over medium-high heat.
- Take one tablespoon of the mixture in your hands and dust lightly with flour so you'll be able to shape it into a ball.
- Dip the ball in the hot oil and reduce heat to medium. Add a few more balls and deep-fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping them every now and then to cook evenly. Make sure to fry them in small batches so they don't get overcrowded in the pan. Once they get a deep golden color transfer on paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Serve along with the Greek yogurt dip.

Steps:
- Combine the red pepper, shallots, garlic, lemon peel and ginger in a large bowl. Squeeze the carrots to remove the excess juice then add to the bowl.
- Place the chickpeas in a food processor and whizz for a few seconds until broken down and crumbly. You don't want a puree so don't blend too far. If you don't have a food processor just crush with chickpeas with the back of a fork.
- Add the chickpeas to the bowl along with the garam masala, cumin and ground coriander.
- Add the egg and mix well then sieve over the flour and mix again.
- Shape into small discs and fry for around 3 minutes a side in a little olive oil.
- When cooked remove and place on kitchen paper to cool.
- To make the tzatziki combine the cucumber, garlic and yoghurt in a bowl. Top the fritters with the chopped coriander.

CHICKPEA FRITTERS WITH TZATZIKI SAUCE
Delicious and you won't believe it's healthy! Vegans will want to skip the tzatziki (unless you sub soy-based plain yogurt), but to make it properly vegan these are also delicious with chutney and tamarind sauce-- and Recipe #396075. I had so much fun making these and I hope they get picked for Veg Swap 16! :D Egg-free and if you sub soy yogurt or skip the tzatziki, it's dairy-free. I am also pretty sure that besan is gluten-free but unsure about this claim.

Steps:
- Rinse and drain the chickpeas, then put them in a large mixing bowl.
- Mash them up with a potato masher! There should still be some whole ones in there.
- Note: you can use a food processor this, but DO NOT PUREE. Pulse a few times so some get pureed, but some whole ones remain. Then pour into a large mixing bowl. I'd rather use the potato masher for authenticity and since it ends up in the mixing bowl anyway, washing the potato masher is far easier than washing the food processor.
- Blend the chickpeas with the garlic and tahini.
- Add all the spices and meld together.
- Fold in the flour and mix together.
- Let the mixture sit for about 15-20 minutes.
- While the mixture is sitting, make the tzatziki sauce: start by mixing the yogurt with the lemon juice.
- Mix in the spices.
- Finely dice the cucumber (1 cuke should be enough) then add it to the tzatziki. Voila, it's done! Now get back to the fritter mixture.
- With your hands, form 2" balls and flatten into discs. There should be about 30 or so.
- Fry in the olive oil about 4-5 minutes on each side.
- Blot on paper towels, serve, and enjoy!

- Soak the chickpeas for 8 hours or overnight in ample water to soften them. Drain, place in a pot with ample fresh water, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer the chickpeas until soft, about 1 ½ hours. Remove from the heat, drain, and rinse.
- Place the chickpeas in a food processor fitted with the metal blade and pulse on and off until they are coarse and mealy.
- Combine the ground chickpeas with the onions, tomato, mint and cumin, and season with salt and pepper. Add enough flour to make a dense mass that can be shaped into individual patties.
- Spread the remaining flour on a large plate. Take about 2 tablespoons at a time of the chickpea mixture and shape into large, flat patties. Heat about ¼ inch of olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is very hot, dredge the patties lightly in flour, tapping off any excess, and fry until golden, flipping once to cook both sides, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and let drain on paper towels. Continue until all the chickpea patties are fried, replenishing the olive oil if necessary. Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.

- Mix chickpeas, egg, cornstarch, cumin, ¼ cup chopped parsley, and ¼ cup yogurt in a large bowl. Generously season with salt and pepper.
- Finely chop half of onion and measure out ¼ cup. Add to bowl with chickpea mixture. Reserve other half for later.
- Using a potato masher, mash mixture until you’ve broken up almost all of the chickpeas and a thick, coarse paste forms. Some of the chickpeas can be left in larger pieces with a few left whole, but you want everything more or less mashed up. → Please give the potato masher the love it deserves
- Using your hands, a scoop, or a measuring cup, portion mixture into 16 more-or-less even balls (each ball should be a scant ¼ cup; don’t fill the measuring cup up all the way!). Roll each ball gently between your palms and transfer to a rimmed baking sheet or plate.
