I had some boiled chickpeas left in my fridge so I entered into the kitchen planning to make falafel but apparently the chickpeas were not enough for falafel and I ended up making these delicious vegetable chickpea tikkis. I boiled whatever veggies I had in the fridge including cauliflower, carrots, peas, potatoes etc and mashed them together with the chickpeas, added breadcrumbs and masala and shallow fried them. We loved these chickpea tikkis and trust me you will too. do try.
