Transfer the blended chickpea patty ingredients into a large bowl. Check the salt and spices and adjust to suit your taste.
The next step is to cook the patties. Divide the patty mixture into 6 equal portions and shape them into rounds. Lightly flatten them with your fingers and keep them aside.
Preheat a skillet on medium heat. If you are using a cast iron skillet, make sure to grease the skillet with oil.
Place the chickpea patties on the greased skillet, drizzle some oil and cook them until well browned and crisp on both sides. Make sure you cook on medium heat so it gets browned well, and cooks through from within.
