Ingredients: 1 lb dry chickpeas/garbanzo beans (- you must start with dry, do NOT substitute canned, they will not work!); 1 small onion, roughly chopped; 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley; 3-5 cloves garlic (I prefer roasted garlic cloves); 1 1/2 tbsp flour or chickpea flour; 1 3/4 tsp salt; 2 tsp cumin; 1 tsp ground coriander; 1/4 tsp black pepper; 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper; Pinch of ground cardamom; Vegetable oil for frying (- grapeseed, sunflower, avocado, canola, and peanut oils all work well)
