Their creation was serendipitous—I had forgotten to purchase meat for dinner, and a lonely can of chickpeas sat in my pantry. This dish is mingled with enchanting spices and invites our taste buds on an exotic adventure. It is an affordable and effortless vegetarian dinner option with incredible flavor. Even those with a staunch allegiance to meat request more, marking a notable accolade for these patties.
