Falafel Recipe

Soak Chickpeas

Place dried chickpeas in a large bowl and cover with water. Let them soak overnight, or for at least 8 hours.

Prepare Falafel Mixture

Drain and rinse the soaked chickpeas. In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, parsley, cilantro, onion, garlic, cumin, coriander, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Pulse until the mixture is coarse but holds together when formed into a ball.

Form Falafel Balls

Transfer the mixture to a bowl, add flour, and mix well. Form small balls (about 1.5 inches in diameter) and place them on a tray.

Fry Falafel

In a deep pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add falafel balls in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Serve

Serve hot with tahini sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
