Preparation
Preparation for 2 portions
1. Add 5 teaspoons of Business Trip to 500ml lukewarm water and leave to infuse for 30 minutes. Strain through a sieve into a bowl.
Use the tea as normal. Add the chickpeas to the bowl and leave to soak overnight
The longer they soak, the more tea flavour they absorb and the shorter the cooking time.
2. drain the chickpeas, place in a pan and fill with water. Depending on the soaking time, simmer for approx. 60 minutes. When they can be easily mashed with a fork, they are cooked.
3. Meanwhile, for the dip, place the yoghurt in a bowl. Add the zest and juice of the lemon, grated ginger and turmeric, honey and chopped coriander leaves and mix well. Season to taste with salt and pepper and leave to infuse in the fridge. Caution - if using fresh turmeric, use disposable gloves and rinse all surfaces and utensils well immediately. Turmeric colours intensely!
4. Dry roast the cumin and coriander seeds in a pan. Grind together with 1 teaspoon of business trip and the remaining spices in a mortar or spice grinder to a powder. Place the cooked chickpeas in a pan and puree with the egg, 1 tbsp olive oil and the spice mixture. Flavour with salt and pepper if necessary, form small balls with slightly moistened hands and flatten slightly. Fry in a pan with the remaining olive oil until crispy. Place on some kitchen paper.
5. serve with the dip and a glass of Business Trip.
Enjoy your meal!

Let`s get down to business, I don`t got no time to play aroundA good idea becomes perfect with this tea. As a classic for connoisseurs with the highest demands, it helps every conference to successfully »brainstorm«. Business Trip comes from the organic plantation Greenfield and is a pure garden tea. That means: Our Ceylon was not mixed together from different »batches«, but is sorted by type and vintage - like a very good wine. Since we offer this variety primarily for our partners in the catering trade, Business Trip is only available in the environmentally friendly refill bag.
