Directions

Process garbanzo beans, onion, garlic, bread, cumin and chilies in a blender or food processor until smooth, then spoon mixture into a bowl.

Add parsley, salt, pepper and egg; mix well.

Form in 8 balls and coat in bread crumbs.

Flatten balls slightly to form oval shapes.

Half fill a deep fat fryer or saucepan with oil; heat to 375 degrees F.
