Falafel Ingredients

Method

Falafel Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chickpeas

    Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas. Pat them dry with a paper towel.

  2. 2

    Blend the Ingredients

    In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, parsley, cilantro, garlic, cumin, coriander, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Blend until the mixture is coarse but holds together when formed into a ball.

  3. 3

    Add Flour

    Transfer the mixture to a bowl and mix in the all-purpose flour until the mixture is thick enough to form patties. If too wet, add a little more flour.

  4. 4

    Shape the Falafel

    Form the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties.

  5. 5

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until hot.

  6. 6

    Fry the Falafel

    Carefully place the patties in the hot oil and fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

  7. 7

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the falafel from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot.
