About

I love everything about chickpeas, but most of all how versatile they are. These tikkis, or patties, are made with mashed chickpeas, with lots of additional flavour and crunch. There’s crushed peanuts in the tikkis and a light, crisp coating of sesame seeds, while a creamy coriander (cilantro) yoghurt sauce tops it all off! While I like to eat these tikkis with the sauce and a salad, my uncle made a tikki burger and loved it! Healthy burgers for the kids?
