Ingredients

• Dried fava beans: 2 cups

• A medium-sized onion, chopped: 1

• Garlic cloves, chopped: 3 - 4

• Fresh coriander, chopped: 1/2 cup

• Fresh parsley, chopped: 1/2 cup

• Cumin powder: 1 - 2 teaspoons

• Baking soda: 1 - 2 teaspoons

• Salt: 1 teaspoon

• Black pepper powder: 1/2 teaspoon

• An appropriate amount of vegetable oil for frying

• Tea rubs: 3- 5g

Instructions

1. Soak the dried broad beans in water for at least 24 hours, changing the water 2-3 times. Drain the water after soaking.

2. Place the soaked broad beans in a food processor and add chopped onion, garlic, coriander, parsley, cumin powder, baking soda, tea rubs, salt and black pepper.

3. Blend until a fine bean paste is formed. If the bean paste is too thick, you can add some water to adjust it.

4. Take out the bean paste and roll it into a round or cake shape with your hands. The size can be adjusted according to personal preference.

5. Pour a proper amount of vegetable oil in a frying pan and heat it to about 180°C (you can test it by putting a small piece of bean paste in the oil. If the bean paste quickly floats and bubbles, it means the oil temperature is right).

6. Carefully put the bean cake into the oil and fry until both sides are golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

7. After frying, use kitchen paper to absorb excess oil.
