Instructions

  • Grate/shred the zucchini and add to a bowl using a grater or processor. Lightly press the zucchini in a paper towel if there is too much moisture.
  • Add carrots, ginger, garlic, chili to a food processor and Process/chop until shredded and add to bowl. Or use grated carrots and minced ginger garlic chili
  • Add the chickpeas to the processor and Process chickpeas until coarsely blended, not fully a paste. Add to the bowl. (I use a mini food processor and it works really well for both the steps). Or you can mash the chickpeas with a masher
  • Make the Turkish spice blend : Crush the cumin coriander and black pepper using a mortar pestle. Or pulse in a spice grinder to a coarse meal. Heat 1/2 tsp oil in small skillet. When hot, add the crushed spices and cook until fragrant. You can also dry roast them until fragrant and use or add them unroasted.
  • Add the spices to the veggie chickpea bowl. Add cinnamon, cardamom, salt, flour, flax and mix well. Add flour and mix in. Add breadcrumbs if needed.
  • Form patties and cook with a little oil in a skillet over medium heat for 5 to 6 minutes per side.
  • To bake, Bake at 400 degrees F (205c) for 20 to 25 minutes. Broil to crisp for a minute.
  • Serve as snack or breakfast with chutneys, sriracha, ketchup, vegan tzatziki, vegan cucumber raita or ranch.

Notes

For variation: Use garam masala, berbere, cajun, shawarma or other spice blend instead of the spices, or use just toasted cumin seeds.
Add chopped onion and cilantro.
