1. Soak the chickpeas in water overnight. You need to use dry rehydrated raw chickpeas for this recipe. Drain all the water. In a food processor, add the chickpeas, salt, red chili powder, cumin and coriander powders.

2. Also add in the coriander/parsley leaves, onion, garlic and lemon juice. Pulse until a coarse mixture is formed. Do not make a fine paste or the mixture will be watery and you will not be able to form the balls.

3. Take a little bit of the mixture and form round balls. If your mixture becomes soft, just add a few teaspoons of flour.

4. Set the balls aside of a plate. Put in the freezer for at least 20 minutes. Heat oil in the mean time. Once oil is hot fry till golden brown on both sides.

5. Remove on a tissue to soak the excess oil. Serve hot in a pita bread sandwich or labna (middle eastern yogurt).
