About the Recipe
By Shahrin Hasan, York, Pennsylvania
Chickpeas are a common ingredient in many dishes in Pakistan where I grew up.
In my home I try to incorporate the tastes of my home country when cooking for my American-born daughters.
I have combined the light spice of Pakistani foods with the love of deep-fried finger foods that many Americans, including my daughters, enjoy.
To eat, dip the warm fritters in the chilled yogurt.
Enjoy as a snack, appetizer, or as part of a meal.
Makes two dozen Fritters.
