Cover the bottom of a large pan with about 1 cm of oil and heat over high heat. Meanwhile, peel the onion and garlic. Roughly dice the onion. Peel and grate the carrot. Cut the feta cheese into small slices and crumble it. Place the chickpeas, onion, and garlic in a tall container and puree with a hand blender until smooth. Place the carrot, crumbled feta, eggs, and flour in a bowl and mix well. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, and curry powder. If you want to season beforehand, it’s best to do so before adding the flour and eggs. Let it sit for a few minutes. Using a tablespoon, drop small portions into the hot oil and fry for about 2-3 minutes on one side, turn, and fry for another 1-2 minutes. Serve with herb curd cheese. If you want to make it gluten-free, you can replace the flour with coconut or almond flour. The recipe can easily be made vegan with egg and feta substitutes. Approximately 536 kcal per serving.
