Chickpea Fritters

Ideal for a snack or to serve at a party.
If you cannot find chick pea flour, try using ready cooked chickpeas just add less yogurt.
I have given the basic recipe for fritters, but I am thinking of delicious variations to make, by adding onion or peppers, or any vegetable you happen to have.

Ingredients for 30 fritters
100 gr Gram or chickpea flour
1 plain yogurt, Greek is fine
1 garlic clove, crushed.
1x1cm fresh ginger, grated
handful or fresh coriander leaves
Salt, chili, and pepper to taste

Place the gram or chick pea flour in a bowl and mix in the yogurt. Let it rise, unrefrigerated, for 2-3 hours. Mix in a little water if it becomes too stiff.
Add the rest of ingredients and mix them with a spoon.
Heat some vegetable oil in a pan and drop spoonfuls of the mix into the oil. Fry them for 2-3 minutes on each side. Take them out of them pan when they are browned, and serve hot.
You can try dipping this into the ketchup and cumin dip
