your recipes are great because they are not deep fried
the ingds are easily available and most of us have these at home.
I have been amazed at how resourceful you are
your ideas, and recipe inventions are great.

Thanks abc for the warm comments. I did use wheat bread for this and I mashed it using hands ( I did not grind the chickpeas). After the chcikpeas are cooked, you can mash them with hands/potato masher. Hope this helps.

Hi RC
I love your website, photos.
Can you tell me if we can use wheat bread for this recipe?
Also did you grind the chickpeas?
Thank you

Hi Shoba,

Thanks for trying the recipe. You can use any type of bread available on hand. I actually had whole grain bread and so I used it.

Breadcrumbs should also do the same trick. It adds little bit of thickness to the chickpea dough.

Nice & healthy receipes, a must try .. i was wondering if we should use white bread or any whole grain or whole wheat bread should do the same trick, or can i use bread crumbs instead of bread

Thanks
Shoba

These are favourite. Actually I like anything made with chickpeas.
The sesame seed finish looks good.

Just made this for the first time (with a few substitutions for what I had on hand). Delicious! Will make again for sure as it seems quite adaptable.

Thank You
