1 medium potato, boiled and mashed
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

1/4 cup fresh coriander leaves, roughly chopped
1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine the mashed chickpeas, mashed potatoes, onion, olive oil, ginger, garlic, salt, red pepper flakes, and coriander leaves. Mix well until everything is evenly incorporated.
