Method

  1. Mix the yogurt with half the coriander in a small bowl. Cover and chill until needed.
  2. Tip the chickpeas into a food processor. Blitz for a just a few seconds so they keep some of their texture. Transfer to a large bowl. Flake in the tuna and mix in the onion, garlic, lemon juice, cumin, chilli and rest of the coriander. Season, then gently stir to mix all the ingredients. Shape into 12 patties with your hands. Dust with flour.
  3. Heat half the oil in a large frying pan. Cook 6 patties for 5-6 minutes, turning over after 3 minutes. Keep them warm while you cook the rest.
  4. Put the tomatoes in the pan. Cook over a high heat for 30-40 seconds until warmed through and starting to soften. Serve with the patties (3 per person) and the coriander dip.

    Very dry and bland. Won't be making this again, which is a shame as it looked so nice!

    Tasty, but not much different from plain falafels that would normally also have some ground coriander in it. It does need a binding agent to make it work well and a couple of tablespoons of flour would help. This might be better for some rather than an egg. Would also work better if the chick peas are paste like rather than 'retaining some of their texture'.
