Falafel Ingredients

Method

Falafel Preparation

  1. 1

    Soak the Chickpeas

    Place the dried chickpeas in a bowl and cover them with water. Let them soak overnight or for at least 8 hours.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Falafel Mixture

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

  3. 3

    Shape the Falafel Balls

    Using your hands, form the mixture into small balls or patties, about 1-2 inches in diameter.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  5. 5

    Fry the Falafel

    Carefully add the falafel balls to the hot oil in batches. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the falafel warm on a platter with your choice of accompaniments such as tahini sauce, pita bread, fresh vegetables, and salads.
