Falafel Mixture

For Frying

Method

Preparation of Falafel Mixture

  1. 1

    Soak Chickpeas

    Place the dried chickpeas in a bowl, cover with water and soak overnight (about 8 hours). Drain and rinse before use.

  2. 2

    Blend Ingredients

    In a food processor, combine soaked chickpeas, parsley, cilantro, onion, garlic, cumin, coriander, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Pulse until the mixture is coarse but combined (do not over-blend).

  3. 3

    Chill Mixture

    Transfer the mixture to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

Frying

  1. 4

    Form Falafel Balls

    Once chilled, use your hands to form the mixture into small balls or patties, about 1.5 inches in diameter.

  2. 5

    Heat Oil

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

  3. 6

    Fry Falafel

    Carefully add the falafel balls to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

  4. 7

    Drain and Serve

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the falafel from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot.
