Steps

1

Soak the fava beans and chickpeas in cold water overnight. Then grind them with the vegetables using a meat grinder or food processor.
2

Add the spices and salt, and mix well. Add the baking soda 15 minutes before frying.
3

Shape the falafel mixture into patties by hand or with a falafel scoop, and fry in hot oil until golden. Place the falafel on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
4

Serve the falafel with tahini sauce, vegetables, and pickles. You can serve it on a plate or, most commonly and deliciously, as a sandwich.

Enjoy!
