Instructions
- Combine the red pepper, shallots, garlic, lemon peel, and ginger in a large bowl.
- Squeeze the carrots to remove the excess juice then add to the bowl.
- Place the chickpeas in a food processor and whiz for a few seconds until they break down and become crumbly (if you don't have a food processor, simply mash the chickpeas with a fork).
- Add the chickpeas to the bowl along with the garam masala, cumin and ground coriander.
- Add the egg and mix well, then sift the flour and mix again.
- Form small discs and fry for about 3 minutes on each side in a little olive oil.
