As far as I'm concerned, the more coriander leaf the better but I've tried to reign it back a bit! Use dried chickpeas and not the ones soaked in water in cans because they don't hold together once you start to fry them

Steps

20 mins

1

Place all of the ingredients in a blender / food processor and pulse, scraping the sides down as needed until it forms a kind of dough
2

Divide the dough into 8 and roll into balls then flatten them slightly
3

Pour 3 inches of oil into a frying pan so that it would come halfway up the falafels but don't put them in yet
4

Heat the oil on a medium heat. Test that it's hot enough by dropping in a small piece of falafel dough. If it sinks the oil isn't hot enough. It should sizzle then float if it's the right temperature, around 190C / 375F
5

Place the falafels carefully 4 at a time in the hot oil and fry until browned, then turn and brown the other side. Around 3 - 5 minutes each side
6

Drain on kitchen paper before serving with pitta bread, hummus, shredded lettuce and sliced tomatoes
7

I have a couple of free-from hummus recipes posted if you're interested and 1 has no tahini / sesame seeds and I also have a gluten-free pitta posted
