Falafel Preparation

  1. 1

    Soak Chickpeas

    Soak the dried chickpeas in water overnight or for at least 8 hours.

  2. 2

    Prepare Mixture

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

  3. 3

    Shape Falafel

    Using your hands, form the mixture into small balls or patties.

  4. 4

    Heat Oil

    In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

  5. 5

    Fry Falafel

    Carefully add falafel balls to the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
