Quick Lunch: Chickpeas with Tuna Patties

My New Year Resolution for 2014 is to do more home cooking for a healthier diet (hopefully), if you have any simple to follow recipes, please share with me.

Recipe #1: Chickpeas with Tuna Patties

1 serving

Ingredients

• 1/2 can of chickpeas
• 1/2 can of tuna in brine
• a handful of coriander
• a pinch of cumin seeds (if you don't like the taste of muruku, please skip this)
• 1 small onion
• 1 small clove of garlic
• 1 small chili (I used chili padi for the kick)
• 1 tablespoon of lemon juice (I forgot to add this :( )
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Directions

• Finely dice the coriander, garlic, onion and smash the cumin seeds  
• Blend the chickpeas into a paste, mix well with tuna, lemon juice and the above finely diced ingredients
• Make it into patties
• Pan fried the patties and we are done!

I had my patties just as it is but you can make a simple dip to go with it, just mix coriander with natural yoghurt.
