Method
Preparation of Falafel
- 1
Soak Chickpeas
Place the dried chickpeas in a bowl and cover with water. Let them soak overnight (or at least 8 hours) until they are soft and doubled in size.
- 2
Make Falafel Mixture
Drain and rinse the soaked chickpeas. In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, garlic, onion, parsley, cumin, coriander, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Pulse until the mixture is coarse but holds together when formed into a ball.
- 3
Form Falafel Balls
Using your hands, form the mixture into small balls or patties, about 1-2 inches in diameter.
- 4
Fry or Bake Falafel
Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the falafel balls for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Alternatively, bake them in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
