Falafel Recipe

Falafel Preparation

1. 1

   Soak the Chickpeas

   Place the dried chickpeas in a bowl and cover with water. Allow them to soak overnight.

2. 2

   Prepare the Mixture

   Drain and rinse the soaked chickpeas. In a food processor, combine chickpeas, onion, garlic, parsley, cumin, coriander, and salt. Pulse until a coarse mixture forms.

3. 3

   Add Baking Powder and Flour

   Transfer the mixture to a bowl. Add baking powder and flour, mixing until well combined. If the mixture is too wet, add a little more flour.

4. 4

   Form the Falafel Balls

   Using your hands, form small balls (about 1.5 inches in diameter) from the mixture.

5. 5

   Heat the Oil

   In a deep frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot.

6. 6

   Fry the Falafel

   Carefully add the falafel balls to the hot oil in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.

7. 7

   Drain and Serve

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