Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chickpeas

    Soak the dried chickpeas in water overnight. Drain and rinse before use.

  2. 2

    Blend the Ingredients

    In a food processor, combine soaked chickpeas, garlic, onion, parsley, cumin, coriander, salt, black pepper, and baking powder. Pulse until a coarse mixture forms.

  3. 3

    Form the Falafel Balls

    Transfer the mixture to a bowl and add flour. Mix well and form small balls or patties, about the size of a golf ball.

  4. 4

    Fry the Falafel

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Fry the falafel in batches until golden brown on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the falafel from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve warm.
