Air-Fryer Chickpea Fritters with Sweet-Spicy Sauce image

Chickpeas are a common ingredient in many dishes in Pakistan where I grew up. I incorporate the tastes of my home country when cooking for my American-born daughters. I have combined the light spice of Pakistani foods with the love of deep-fried finger foods that many Americans, including my daughters, enjoy. To eat, dip the warm, air-fryer fritters in the chilled yogurt. Enjoy as a snack, appetizer or as part of a meal. —Shahrin Hasan, York, Pennsylvania

I'm not a big fan of fritters, but these ones were actually really good. I'll definitely be making them again.

These fritters are a great way to use up leftover rice. They're also a great way to sneak some vegetables into your diet.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my fritters turned out really oily. I think I might have used too much oil.

These fritters were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I might add a little more liquid to the batter next time.
