1

Place all of the ingredients in a food processor. Pulse until you obtain an even mix. If the mixture is too dry, add 1 more tablespoon of olive oil.
2

Divide the mixture into 10 equal parts. Form balls using your hands and then lightly press to obtain disk-shaped nuggets.
3

Heat enough oil over medium heat until it reaches 350º F. Fry the nuggets until they are golden on both sides, which should take 2-3 minutes. Place on a plate with paper towels.

To prepare the yogurt sauce, place all of the ingredients in a small bowl and mix until everything is combined. Serve the nuggets with yogurt sauce.
