Dried White Chickpeas or Kabuli Channa 1 cup i.e. 250 ml
Onion 1 (medium size) finely chopped
Garlic chopped 1 tsp
Coriander leaves or mint leaves chopped 2 tbsp
Red chilli powder ½ tsp
Coriander powder ¾ tsp

All purpose flour or maida 1 –1½ tbsp

Method
Wash and soak the chickpeas in water for 8 to 10 hours or overnight.
In a grinder jar add onion, garlic, coriander or mint leaves, chilli powder, coriander powder, pepper powder, cumin powder, all purpose flour or maida, lemon juice and salt.
Grind the ingredients coarsely without adding water. The dough should neither be smooth nor too coarse.
Heat oil in a pan. Be sure that the oil is medium hot. Make a small ball from the ground mixture and place it in the oil, if the ball does not break then the consistency of the dough is perfect to proceed.
If the ball breaks then you add little more all-purpose flour or maida.
Make even sized balls and fry.
Serve hot with any chutney or tomato ketchup.
