Rinse the chickpeas with cold water and put them in a saucepan. Pour cold water over and boil for 20 minutes. Drain again, throw away the water and return to the pot with fresh cold water. Allow the chickpeas to simmer until soft, remove them from the heat, cool them and drain well, holding a few tablespoons of their water.
Step 3:
Empty the cold chickpeas in a blender, or a food mixer, add the tahini, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper and mix them well until they become a creamy mixture, adding a few tablespoons of their water, if necessary. Mix all the salad ingredients a bowl and keep it in the refrigerator. Boil plenty of oil in a deep frying pan.

Shape the mixture into small round patties and wrap them in the flour. Then, fry them until they have browned. Add the hummus to a platter, or 4 dishes, spread the patties on top and garnish with the boiled whole shrimps. Scrape around the pomegranate and accompany them with the mango-avocado salad and the salad leaves.
