Curried Chickpea Cakes
- 1 cup Frozen Carrot, Pea, Corn Blend, Thawed
- 2 cans 15.5 Oz Cans, Chickpeas, Drained
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Pepper
- 2 teaspoons Maharajah Spice (Penzeys)
- 1 block 8 Oz Size, Paneer Cheese
- 2 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil
- 1 package 8.8 Oz Package, Garlic Naan (2 Loaves)
- 1 package 8.5 Oz Package, Tzatziki, 1 Tablespoon Per Serving (however I Loaded Up!)
- 1.
- Preheat your oven to 400 F. In a microwave safe dish cook the frozen veggies in 1/2 cup of water for about 5 minutes.
- Just until thawed, not really cooking itthat will come later.
- When done, set aside.
- 2.
- Puree the chickpeas.
- I have a mini food processor and just did small batches until done.
- You want the chickpeas creamy, but a few lumps is good.
- If they arent pureed enough they wont stick together very well.
- 3.
- In a large bowl add the mashed chickpeas, 1 cup of veggies, salt, pepper and Maharajah spice.
- Stir well.
- 4.
- Form the mixture into 2-inch wide patties (recipe makes 6 assembled patties, so split the mixture into 12 and form into patties).
- This seemed to be the best size so that they didnt fall apart during cooking.
- Place a thin slice of paneer cheese on top of 6 patties and then cover with another patty, and seal the edges.
- 5.
- In a large skillet, add the vegetable oil and heat over medium-high heat.
- When oil is hot, place some of the cakes in the pan and cook each side 5-7 minutes.
- It will get more yellow in color and a crispy outside when close to done.
- When done, set them aside on a paper towel lined plate while you cook the rest of the patties.
- 6.
- Place the naan on a baking sheet and sprinkle the top with water.
- Bake at 400 F for 3 minutes and them remove them from oven.
- Cut into (somewhat) even squares.
- 7.
- To build your dinner, put the naan on the plate first, then a finished chickpea cake and finally top with tzatziki sauce.
- Enjoy!
