Method:

Soak the black chickpeas in water overnight of for 6-7 hours. Drain and pressure cook the chickpeas with enough water and salt till they are thoroughly cooked. Let the pressure settle down in the cooker. Drain the cooked chickpeas now. In a large bowl add the chickpeas and mash them with a wooden spoon or a blender or your hands. Just make a semi coarse mixture and not too smooth. Add all the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Make into small round shaped kababs or patties. Shallow fry the kababs in medium hot oil till crisp and browned on both sides. You can also bake the kebabs with a drizzle of oil for a healthier version. Garnish kababs with mint leaves and serve hot. Serve veg kababs with onion-mint salad along with slices of lime and some mint chutney.
