Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
In a large bowl, mash the cooked chickpeas with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth but still a bit chunky.
- 2
Add in the shredded coconut, flour, chopped green onions, cilantro, cumin, coriander, salt, and black pepper. Stir until everything is well combined.
- 3
Pour in the plant-based coconut milk and mix until the batter is thick but not dry. If it seems too wet, you can add a bit more flour.
- 4
Heat coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the pan, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon.
- 5
Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. You might need to do this in batches.
- 6
Remove the fritters and place them on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce!
