Chickpea-Kofta Recipe image

from Fatfree.com by Ellen M. Sentovich. Sounds interesting...Here's what she wrote: "I just got around to trying this recipe and it is WONDERFUL !! It is a VERY tolerant recipe too. I made 1-person portions, which means my relative ingredient portions were probably way off. Day 2 I ran out of yogurt and used milk. Also didn't feel like using the food processor so I crushed the chickpeas with a fork and stirred the rest together with a spoon. Day 3 I ran out of potatoes and used dried. The one instruction I recommend following for sure is to flatten and flip them half way through the baking. These are **really ** great, try them!"
