Pitarúdia

Pitaroudia is a traditional dish originating from Rhodes. These fritters are made with a combination of chickpeas, onions, tomatoes, mint, cumin, and seasonings. The dried chickpeas are soaked, boiled, then coarsely ground and mixed with onions, grated tomatoes, mint, salt, pepper, and cumin. The fritters are fried in olive oil until golden brown. Once done, pitaroudia is often served with tzatziki dip on the side.
