Instructions

1. 1

   In a large bowl, thoroughly mash 2 cups of cooked chickpeas using a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth with some texture remaining.

2. 2

   Add 0.5 medium finely minced red onion, 3 minced cloves of garlic, 1 inch of grated fresh ginger, 2 tablespoons of berbere spice blend, 0.5 teaspoon of ground turmeric, 0.25 cup of chopped fresh cilantro, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper to the mashed chickpeas and mix until well combined.

3. 3

   Incorporate 0.25 cup of chickpea flour into the mixture, mixing thoroughly to form a cohesive dough, adding 0.25 cup of water if the mixture is too dry to bind.

4. 4

   Divide the chickpea mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty approximately 1-inch thick.

5. 5

   Preheat a charcoal grill to medium-high heat, ensuring the coals are glowing, and lightly cover the grates with 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to prevent sticking.

6. 6

   Carefully place the 8 chickpea patties on the oiled grill grates and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown with visible grill marks and heated through.

7. 7

   Serve the hot grilled spiced chickpea patties immediately with your choice of Ethiopian bread or a simple side salad.
