Recipe review -Skinny Bitch

"Curried Chickpea Cakes"
From Skinny Bitch: Ultimate Everyday Cookbook

First recipe is a success!
***** stars

They're made with cooked chickpeas and brown rice all mashed up and shaped into little patties with a perfect amount of curry seasonings, I added a little fresh chopped cilantro. Topped them off with some organic Peach Chutney from Mission Hill Winery in Kelowna BC and served them with a green salad. They are easy to make and reminiscent of pakora (chickpea battered & deep fried veggies) that you would typically find in an Indian restaurant. I would definitely makes these again! Can't wait for lunch tomorrow, leftovers! The only negative thing was that the kids didn't like them, booo. They "liked" them enough so they could get their dessert but complained about it the entire time. I'm hoping it's because the chickpea cakes are a new taste sensation for them and next time I make them will go over a little easier because they should have the opportunity to be skinny dudes ;)
