Falafel (3 Pieces) Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Soak the Chickpeas

   Soak the dried chickpeas in cold water for at least 8 hours or overnight. Drain and rinse before using.

2. 2

   Prepare the Mixture

   In a food processor, combine the soaked chickpeas, parsley, cilantro, garlic, onion, cumin, coriander, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Pulse until the mixture is well combined but still slightly coarse.

3. 3

   Form the Falafel Balls

   Transfer the mixture to a bowl, sprinkle in the flour, and mix until combined. Form the mixture into small balls or patties (about 1.5 inches in diameter).

4. 4

   Fry the Falafel

   Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the falafel balls to the oil. Fry for about 5 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

5. 5

   Serve

   Serve the falafel warm with your choice of dipping sauce or in a pita with fresh vegetables.
