Phenomenal Falafel Recipe

Preparation Instructions

1. 1

   Prep the Falafel Mixture

   In a food processor, combine the drained chickpeas, parsley, cilantro, onion, garlic, cumin, coriander, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Pulse until the mixture is well combined but still slightly chunky.

2. 2

   Form the Falafel Balls

   Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the flour until fully incorporated. Use your hands to form small balls (about 1 inch in diameter) and place them on a plate.

3. 3

   Heat the Oil

   In a deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. The oil is ready when a small piece of falafel mixture dropped in sizzles immediately.

4. 4

   Fry the Falafel

   Carefully add the falafel balls to the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

5. 5

   Serve

   Serve your phenomenal falafel warm with pita bread, tahini sauce, or your favorite dipping sauce.
