Instructions
-
Prepare the Chickpeas: Begin by soaking the Kala Chana (brown chickpeas) in water for at least 6 hours. Once soaked, drain the water and cook the chickpeas until they are soft.
-
-
Mash the Chickpeas: In a large mixing bowl, mash the cooked chickpeas using a potato masher or fork until they are coarsely mashed.
-
Combine Ingredients: Add the grated tofu, finely chopped onion, coriander leaves, green chillies, grated ginger, cumin powder, chaat masala, and salt to the mashed chickpeas. Use your fingers to mix the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
-
Shape the Patties: Divide the mixture into 10 to 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into oval or round patties, flattening them slightly in the palm of your hand. Oiling your fingers will make this process easier.
-
Cook the Patties: Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Place the shaped patties in the skillet and drizzle olive oil over each one. Cook them on low to medium heat, flipping them occasionally, until they are golden brown on all sides.
-
Serve: Enjoy these delicious Chickpea and Tofu Patties warm, served with fresh coriander chutney. They make a great appetizer for parties, a wholesome snack, or a delightful addition to kids’ lunch boxes.
