Ingredients

  • 100 g chickpea flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 100 ml water
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 tablespoon white flour
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 4 tablespoon vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  • Combine all the ingredients (except breadcrumbs and vegetable oil) in a large bowl. The mixture should be compact and only slightly sticky. If too sticky, add a little flour.
  • Divide the mixture in 4 portions and form 4 balls.
  • Put breadcrumbs into a bowl, place a ball on top and press with your fingers in order to form a cutlet (about 3-4 mm thick). Flip to cover with breadcrumbs.
  • Repeat the process with the remaining balls.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a large frying pan. Fry the cutlets on both sides for about 2-3 minutes. Serve hot. Enjoy!
