What goes:- (seasoned & spiced to my palate, adjust accordingly)

• Chickpeas – 1 cup-(soaked & pressure cooked) /if using canned, drained & rinsed
• Onion – 1 (small) – finely chopped
• Green Pepper – 1/2 – finely chopped
• Garlic – 1 to 2 pods – finely chopped
• Mint Leaves – a fisful – roughly chopped
• Fresh Coriander leaves – a few sprigs – finely chopped
• Green Chilli – 1- to taste – optional
• Seasonings – (Dried Rosemary, Dried Chives, Oregano, Red Chilli Powder mixed in equal quantity) – 1 to 2 tsp of the blend – to taste
• Lemon  – a dash of lemon juice
• Sesame Seeds – a little sprinkle , (plus some for garnish)
• Powdered almonds – little – optional
• Salt – to taste
• Olive Oil – little for the patties
• Gram Flour – little – for dusting (can also use bread crumbs)

The good looking pepper waiting to be sliced n diced !

In a big bowl mash the chickpeas well to a smooth consistency saving a handful to give that crunchy edge. Now add all the ingredients (except the olive oil & the gram flour of course) and mix well. Check for seasoning and rest the mix in the fridge for a while( about 20-30 minutes). This brings out the flavours well !

Shape the mix in to patties, dusting with gram flour/bread crumbs. In a non stick pan, tip in little olive oil and cook over medium heat, turning over after a few minutes. 

Let the patties get browned & crispy. 

Savour it with tomato Sauce or a salsa & light salad or sit back n enjoy with your choice beverage.

Taking it one step further ,I put the OTG on a grill mode & grilled a few of them for 20 minutes @ 200C. It was good too !
