method:
- In a frying pan, heat the chickpeas for two minutes until dry and just starting to colour. Cool, then crush with a potato masher.
- Mix together the chickpeas, eggs, yoghurt, feta, mint, flour and chilli, season well and leave for five minutes. Spray a pan with oil, then drop in tablespoonfuls of the batter, spacing them 3cm apart. Cook for two minutes each side until deep golden. Transfer to a warm plate and continue cooking in batches.
- To make the salad, slice the orange into segments, cut the onions and add to the salad.

Drizzle over the salad and serve with the warm fritters.
