   Drain chick peas. Quarter onion and potato. Run all

   garlic two times. Add all remaining ingredients except

   grinder once more. Mix again. Cover and leave to rest
   for two to three hours. Heat oil for deep frying.
   While oil is heating add baking soda to the chick pea
   mixture. With dampened hands, form mixture into balls
   the size of a walnut, then flatten slightly into a
   patty. Deep fry, making sure patties are cooked
   through and are golden brown. Remove from oil with a
   slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Shared by
