Ingredients

Dill-Garlic Yogurt Sauce

½ cup greek yogurt (or sour cream)
1 tablespoon lemon juice (from about ½ a lemon)
2 tablespoon fresh dill (minced)
1 clove garlic (minced)
1 teaspoon sea salt

Chickpea Patties

12 oz canned chickpeas (or freshly prepared, drained)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg
2 green onions (minced)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
½ cup all purpose flour (or chickpea flour)
¼ cup grapeseed oil (or other neutral oil, for frying)

Instructions

Dill-Garlic Yogurt Sauce

In a small bowl, mix together Greek yogurt, lemon juice, dill, garlic, and sea salt until well combined. Set aside.

Chickpea Patties

Drain canned chickpeas and gently dry them with a kitchen towel. Transfer them to a large bowl and mash them coarsely using a potato masher or mortar.
To the mashed chickpeas, add cumin, black pepper, salt, green onions, garlic, flour, and egg. Use a fork to mix until all ingredients are evenly combined. Then, lightly knead the mixture with your hands until it reaches a dough-like consistency.
Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat and add oil. Spoon about 3 tablespoons of the chickpea mixture into the hot oil, then use the back of the spoon to shape it into a rough patty. Fry each patty for 3-4 minutes on each side or until they turn golden brown.
Repeat the process with the remaining chickpea mixture, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Serve the chickpea patties with the prepared dill-garlic yogurt sauce.

Notes

Let the cooked patties cool on a wire rack instead of a paper towel. When letting fried foods cool on a paper towel they can get soggy sitting in the oil.
