This Persian dish is close to my heart
Ingredients
- Potato2
- Onion1
- Chickpeas1 can
- Egg2
- Flour¼ cups
- Breadcrumb¾ cups
- Turmeric1 tsp
- Parsley
- Oil for frying¼–⅓ cups
- Salt
- Black pepper
Instructions
- Parboil the potatoes in salted boiling water until a fork goes halfway through but they are not fully cooked. Cool, then peel and grate them with a box grater into a large bowl.
- Grate the onion, squeeze out all the excess liquid, and add it to the potatoes.
- Drain the chickpeas and mash them with a masher or fork, then add them to the bowl.
- Add the eggs, flour, parsley, salt, black pepper and 2 tablespoons of the breadcrumbs.
- Mix everything with your hands (gloves optional) into a batter.
- Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and shape it into an oval patty using your fingers and palms.
- Coat each patty in the remaining breadcrumbs, poured into a shallow bowl. Repeat the shaping and coating until all the batter is used.
- Heat some oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add a few patties at a time and pan-fry for a few minutes per side until golden, flipping with a spatula.
- Drain the cooked patties on paper towels to remove excess oil, and repeat until all are cooked.
