Hi All! 🙂 Here I’m with my next recipe, Chickpea Burger Patties (Air Fryer, Stove top) also called as Falafel burger patties. Just like my previous Air – Fryer Recipes , I have given BOTH stove-top and air-fryer methods. Check the pics below and choose the right method that suits you!
This was the scene when my 3 kids came back from their weekend classes (activities), & while I was half way in making these patties…
My younger daughter, very excitedly: “Wooow!! burger patties! Amma, so are we having burgers for dinner???!!!”. Me: “hmmm…that’s the plan but you will have to wait for some half an hour more…”. My elder daughter: “Okay sure, Amma! in the mean while, let us taste these patties with the dips first”. For which I agreed and took few snaps while they were devouring them.
But, later I realised, they were so hungry that none of the patties were left. Couldn’t make the burgers too. 🙁 I made this homemade dip, which was a winner. Shall promise to share the recipes for both the dip & burgers very soon!
Meanwhile, don’t forget to try these, Chickpea Burger Patties (Air Fryer & Stove top) ALL IN ONE (Vegan, Carbs Filled, Gluten free, RICH IN Protein, Iron & Fiber), patties and check the TIPS to store / freeze them too.

STOVE-TOP METHOD
AIR-FRYER METHOD
Tips:
- I have used black chickpeas while garbanzo beans / yellow chickpeas also work perfectly.
- The prep time is given as 15 mins, where I excluded the soaking time of 7-8 hrs.
- If using canned chickpeas, skip the pressure cooking steps.
- Adjust the salt & spice as per your taste.
- You can store the pressure cooked chickpeas & sweet potatoes ground mix, in the fridge and make the patties instantly.
- For the air-fryer method, I just brushed the mesh, which worked perfectly. You can even eliminate the oil completely, and brush the mesh with water.
- You can freeze these, UNCOOKED / COOKED patties.
- Just pile up one above the other, but separate each one by using baking paper. Take them out, just fry them directly. You need not thaw them.
Result:
- These, Chickpea / Falafel Burger Patties (Air Fryer & Stove top), are perfectly cooked both outside and inside.
- Its a complete power packed, ALL IN ONE appetiser (Vegan, Carbs Filled, Gluten free, RICH IN Protein, Iron & Fiber), patties.
- I served them with tomato ketchup and homemade yogurt dip, along with a healthy salad of salad cucumber & carrot slices.
- They were flavourful and tasted scrumptious.
