Chickpea Fritters with Sweet-Spicy Sauce image

Chickpeas are a common ingredient in many dishes in Pakistan where I grew up. I have combined the light spice of Pakistani foods with the love of deep-fried finger foods that many Americans, including my daughters, enjoy. To eat, dip this chickpea recipe in chilled yogurt. -Shahrin Hasan, York, Pennsylvania

These chickpea fritters were a hit at my dinner party! The combination of sweet and spicy sauce was perfect, and the fritters themselves were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I will definitely be making these again.

These fritters were a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had added some more spices to the batter.

These fritters were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had baked them instead of frying them.
