About Chickpea fritters

Chickpea fritters are a savory, protein-rich dish commonly found in Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and Indian cuisines. They are made by blending chickpeas or chickpea flour with herbs, spices, onion, garlic, and sometimes other vegetables, forming a dough that is shaped into patties or balls and fried until golden and crisp. Known for their nutty, hearty flavor, chickpea fritters are versatile and can be enjoyed on their own, in wraps, or accompanied by dips like tahini or yogurt sauce. Chickpeas are rich in plant-based protein, dietary fiber, iron, and folate, making these fritters a nutritious option that supports digestive health and sustained energy. However, traditional fritters may be fried in oil, increasing their calorie and fat content. To make them lighter, you can bake or air-fry them instead. Chickpea fritters are a delicious way to incorporate legumes into your diet while exploring vibrant global flavors.
