4. When ready to cook, take bowl out of fridge.
5. Use a wide bottom pan and fill with around 1cm oil and place over a medium heat.
6. Take a golf ball sized amount of falafel mix, and form in to a patty, almost like a burger. This allows you to use less oil.
7. Fry in oil until golden brown and then turn over. Once cooked, place on a plate lined with kitchen towel.
8. If the falafel are fragile and don't stay together well, add 1 tbsp flour at a time until the mixture binds.
