Soak the chickpeas in salted water overnight.
Drain and wash the chickpeas well, and in a pot add new water and boil chickpeas until the chickpea can be squished between your fingers, for approximately 30 minutes. Drain water.
Using a food processor or wooden spoon, mix chickpeas well until it resembles a paste. Add the onion, herbs, tomato, paprika, oil and season well. Add the flour slowly mixing well as you go until the mixture looks like a very thick paste. Cover and refrigerator for about one hour to rest.
Heat extra olive oil in a frypan and add large tablespoons of the chickpea mixture, cooking on both sides until golden, about 8-10 minutes. Do not overcrowd the frypan. Place cooked fritters on absorbent paper while cooking the rest of the mixture.
