Garbanzo bean fritters

This is very much similar to falafel found in mid-east cuisines..I have made this in an Indianized way..It is easy and quick to prepare and also serves as a tea time snack..It is nutritious as it is loaded with proteins..

Garbanzo beans / Chick peas - 2 cups
Onion - 1 small sized
Coriander powder - 1 teaspoon
Cumin powder - 1 teaspoon
Chilli powder - 1 teaspoon

Directions
