Preparation and Assembly

Prepare the Falafel Mixture
In a food processor, combine chickpeas, parsley, onion, garlic, cumin, coriander, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Pulse until a coarse mixture forms. Add flour gradually until the mixture holds together but is not sticky.

Shape the Falafel
Using your hands, form the falafel mixture into small balls or patties, about the size of a golf ball.

Fry the Falafel
Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Carefully add falafel balls and fry until golden brown on all sides, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
