Falafel Recipe

Falafel Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Falafel Mixture

   In a food processor, combine chickpeas, parsley, cilantro, onion, garlic, cumin, coriander, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Pulse until the mixture is coarsely blended but not pureed.

2. 2

   Form the Falafel

   Transfer the mixture to a bowl. Stir in the flour until just combined. Shape the mixture into small balls or patties, about the size of a golf ball.

3. 3

   Fry the Falafel

   Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the falafel balls in batches, frying until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
