Vegetable Chickpea Patties
Ingredients
- 1½ tbsp Oil plus more for shallow frying
- 1 tin Chickpeas
- 1½ cup Cabbage roughly chopped
- 1½ cup Carrot 3 medium size, roughly chopped
- 1 cup Cauliflower florets frozen
- ⅓ cup Green Peas frozen
- ¼ cup Corn frozen
- ½ bunch Coriander roughly chopped
- ¼ tsp Turmeric
- ½ tsp Chilli Powder
- 1 tbsp Italian mixed herbs
- Salt to taste
- 2 tbsp Plain Flour
- ½ cup Water
Instructions
-
Drain the liquid completely from canned chickpeas and wash beans with fresh water a couple of times.
-
Thaw frozen vegetables as per instructions on the packet.
-
Once defrosted, squeeze out water from the vegetables as much as possible.
-
Place vegetables and chickpeas in a food processer, process until vegetables are minced. Ensure vegetables have some texture and not too smooth and mushy. Mince vegetables in batches and transfer them into a deep bowl.
-
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a deep skillet or pan over medium-high heat.
-
Once the oil is hot, combine minced chickpeas, veggies, salt, chilli powder, ground cumin. saute well and cook for 8-10 minutes until the moisture is absorbed and raw aroma vanishes. Keep stirring the mixture to prevent vegetables from sticking at the bottom of the pan.
-
Mix in Italian herbs and switch off the heat.
-
Allow vegetable mixture to cool down to room temperature.
-
Scoop out a lime size mixture, place on palm and gently press with another palm to flatten the ball and make round patties. smooth out the edges gently and keep them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
-
Place the baking sheet in the fridge for about 30 minutes. This helps patties to hold the shape and prevent them from disintegrating while frying.
-
Meanwhile, make a flour slurry to coat the patties. Combine flour and water in a small bowl, mix until you get smooth and lump-free slurry. Keep the bowl aside.
-
Heat oil in a shallow pan over medium-low heat.
-
Dip each patty in a flour slurry and coat all sides and then place them on a pan.
-
Fry a batch of patties for 3-4 minutes, then flip and fry other side for another 3-4 minutes or until patties are evenly browned.
-
Repeat the process until you fry all patties.
Notes
- You may bake these patties at 180 C for 15 – 20 minutes until the outer layer is crisp and light brown. Flip patties in between to cook another side.
- The number of patties you get from the quantities mentioned in the recipe card might vary based on the size of the patties you make.
- You may swap fresh chickpeas for tinned. Wash well and soak them overnight. Next day morning discard the water and pressure cook with fresh water until soft.
- You may swap fresh vegetables for frozen ones.
- The chilli powder used in this recipe is not so HOT but if your child is not used to chilli powder feel free to substitute it with pepper.
- These vegan patties keep good for 3 days in the fridge if stored in an airtight container.
