Ingredients

Coriander Yogurt:

Method

Coriander Yogurt: In small bowl, mix yogurt with coriander; set aside.

In food processor, pulse together chickpeas, eggs, Cajun seasoning, salt and pepper until smooth; transfer to bowl. Add bread crumbs, green onions, garlic and 2 tbsp (25 mL) of the Coriander Yogurt; stir to combine. Using wet hands, shape into six 1/2-inch (1 cm) thick patties. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate patties and yogurt for up to 24 hours.)

In large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat; fry patties, turning once, until golden and crisp, about 10 minutes.

Cut each pita in half; stuff each pocket with patty. Spread Coriander Yogurt on patties; top with carrots and cucumber.
