Steps:
- In a medium saute pan, heat 3 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Add onion; cook, stirring, until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add sesame seeds, cumin, and cayenne; cook, stirring, until the sesame seeds have begun to brown lightly and the spices are very fragrant, about 2 minutes; set aside.
- In a food processor, combine chickpeas, lemon juice, egg white, salt, and 1 tablespoon oil. Pulse several times to form a semismooth paste. Transfer to a large bowl; stir in onion mixture. Fold in flour until just combined. Using your hands, form batter into 1 1/4-inch patties, each about 1/3 inch thick.
- In a 12-inch saute pan, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-low heat. Cook half the patties, without flattening, until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer patties to a paper-towel-lined plate, and season with salt. Repeat with remaining patties and tablespoon oil. Serve immediately with tzatziki.

[email protected]The recipe was easy to follow, but I found that the fritters took a little longer to cook than the recipe stated.
Justin Case
[email protected]I had some trouble getting the fritters to hold together. I think I might have overmixed the batter or maybe I didn't fry them long enough.
Mudassir Ahmad
[email protected]These fritters were a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a spicy chili powder. Next time I'll use a milder chili powder or reduce the amount I use.
