Falafel Ingredients
Method
Falafel Preparation
Prepare the Chickpeas
Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas well. Set aside to dry on a paper towel.
Blend Ingredients
In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, parsley, cilantro, garlic, cumin, coriander, baking powder, flour, salt, and black pepper. Pulse until the mixture is coarsely blended but not pureed.
Shape the Falafel
Using your hands, form the mixture into small balls or patties, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. Place them on a plate.
Fry the Falafel
In a deep pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the falafel balls in batches, frying until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
