Soak the chickpeas overnight in at least 2 cups of water in a large covered container. The next day, remove and dry with paper towels.

Step 3

Using wet hands, form into firm-ish 1-inch wide balls.

Step 4

Deep fry at 300ºF for 2 minutes, in batches if necessary. Drain on a paper towel between batches.

Step 5

Enjoy immediately.
