Total Time 1 hour hr 35 minutes mins
- 170 g dried chickpeas (1 cup) or 1 + ⅔ chickpea cans
- 100 g uncooked quinoa (½ cup)
- 150 g grated carrots
- 1 medium onion finely chopped
- 4-5 minced garlic cloves
- 1 tbsp salt or to taste
- 1 tbsp turmeric powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- ½ tsp ground coriander seeds
- ½ tsp garam masala
- 3-4 tbsp chickpea flour
If using dry chickpeas, soak overnight (or for at least 2 hours) in water with 1 tsp of bicarbonate; after soaking, put the chickpeas in a medium saucepan filled with water and boil for about 30 minutes; turn off the heat and drain the chickpeas; if using canned chickpeas, you only need to drain them;
Rinse well the quinoa in cold water, then cook it with 1 cup (250 ml) of water until the liquid is completely absorbed; turn off the heat and allow quinoa to cool for a few minutes;
While quinoa / chickpeas are cooking, peel and grate the carrots; also peel and finely chop onion and garlic;
Put the drained chickpeas in a large bowl and mash with a fork; or use a food processor;
Add cooked quinoa and the rest of the ingredients and combine well;
Preheat the oven at 180° C and line a large baking trey with parchment paper;
Shape the batter into round, flat patties and put them in the baking trey;
Place the trey into the oven and cook for about 30 minutes, until the patties turn golden;
Remove the patties from the oven and allow them to cool a little before serving.
- Don't mash the chickpeas hummus like, but don't leave too big pieces so that they don't break easily after baking.
- In case the batter is too sticky, add more flour.
- I chose to bake the patties, but they can be pan fried too.
