Method
Preparation
- 1
Soak the Chickpeas
Place the dried chickpeas in a large bowl, cover with water, and let soak overnight. Drain and rinse before using.
- 2
Prepare the Mixture
In a food processor, combine the soaked chickpeas, chopped onion, garlic cloves, fresh parsley, cumin, coriander, salt, black pepper, and baking powder. Pulse until the mixture is coarse but holds together when pressed.
- 3
Add Flour
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the flour. Adjust the amount of flour if needed until the mixture holds its shape.
Cooking
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the temperature by dropping a small piece of the mixture into the oil; it should sizzle.
- 5
Form the Falafel Bites
Using your hands, form small balls or patties from the mixture, about 1-2 inches in diameter.
- 6
Fry the Falafel Bites
Carefully place the formed falafel bites into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
