4 spring onions or 1 Spanish onion, chopped

2 cloves of garlic, chopped

¼ cup chopped fresh parsley

¼ tsp chilli powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 ½ tsp ground cumin

1 tsp ground coriander

1 ½ Tablespoons self-raising flour

Method

In a food processor combine the chickpeas, spring onions, garlic,

In a small frying pan or wok heat the oil. Roll tablespoonfuls of the
