    * Add onion and chop for 3 seconds on Speed 6

    * Cover oven tray with baking paper and brush with a little oil
    * Wet your hands with water, get walnut sized pieces from bean mixture (around 30g), roll, coat with bread crumbs and place in oven tray

Tips/Hints:
In the original recipe bean balls are fried instead of baking in the oven. Since I wanted to make them lighter I preferred baking them in the oven. They were really delicious also this way

I used nutmeg instead of ground cumin because I didn't have any at the moment

Thanks farfallina.  I used to make a dish like this years ago when at uni.  Cheap food & vegetarian to please housemates.

The TMX will make this so easy,
