Falafel Ingredients

Method

Falafel Preparation

1

Soak Chickpeas

Place dried chickpeas in a bowl and cover with water. Soak overnight.

2

Prepare the Mixture

Drain and rinse the soaked chickpeas. In a food processor, combine chickpeas, onion, garlic, parsley, cilantro, cumin, coriander, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Pulse until a coarse mixture forms.

3

Form the Falafel

Transfer the mixture to a bowl and add flour. Mix well. Form into small balls or patties.

4

Heat the Oil

In a deep pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

5

Fry the Falafel

Carefully add the falafel balls to the hot oil. Fry in batches for about 4-5 minutes until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

6

Serve

Serve the falafel warm with tahini sauce, pita bread, and fresh vegetables.
