This traditional Greek dish is similar to falafel, but with less spice and flavored with cheese and is usually served as an appetizer. They are very easy to make with dry chickpeas, but canned may be substituted. Use a cheese grater to mash the tomato. Servings are approximate. Time needed for soaking the chickpeas not included. Found online and posted for ZWT 6, Greece.

I tried this recipe and the chickpea balls turned out a bit too dry. I think I might have overcooked them.

These chickpea balls were a hit at my dinner party! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the flavors were amazing. I especially loved the combination of cumin, coriander, and paprika.
