Preparation

Preparation Steps

1. Soak the Beans

Rinse the dried garbanzo beans and soak them in water overnight (or for at least 8 hours). Drain and rinse before using.

2. Blend the Mixture

In a food processor, combine the soaked garbanzo beans, onion, garlic, parsley, cumin, coriander, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Blend until the mixture is coarse but well combined.

3. Form the Patties

Using your hands, form the mixture into small balls or patties, about the size of a golf ball. Place them on a tray.

4. Heat the Oil

In a large frying pan, heat the oil over medium heat until hot.

5. Fry the Falafel

Carefully add the patties to the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes on each side.

6. Drain and Serve

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