Transfer the chickpea mixture into a bowl.

You may find the batter is very sticky.
Wet your hands, form the batter into about 1½ inch balls.
Place the balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or coated with cooking spray, about 2-inch apart.
Flatten the balls with your finger or the back of a fork.
