Curried Chickpea Cakes

I found a vegan blog I like a lot called go vegan meow! I got this recipe there. Here is the original recipe. I changed it a little based on what I had. Also I only made half of the recipe I'm posting.

Ingredients:
15 oz can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
onion powder
1/3 c unsweeted soy milk
2 tsp sugar
2/3 c breadcrumbs
1 tsp curry powder
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp ground cumin
2/3 c cooked rice
1/2 tsp salt
4 T grapeseed oil (or any oil) for pan searing
 
Directions:
In a food processor, combine the chickpeas and onion powder. Pulse until combined. Transfer to a mixing bowl.
Add the milk, sugar, breadcrumbs, curry powder, nutmeg and cumin. Stir together with a wooden spoon until well combined. Stir in the rice and salt. Mold into 12 mini patties.
In a saute pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the chickpea cakes to the pan in batches and saute until there's a nice golden sear on the bottom. Flip and sear on the other side as well. Continue with the remaining cakes. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate to drain.
Makes 6 servings (2 cakes each).
