Cooking Instructions
- 1
Wash the chickpeas and let them soak overnight.
- 2
Drain and wash the chickpeas. Once done put them in a blender along with chopped onions, garlic, cumin, parsley. Add salt, ground black pepper and flour to the above mixture and prepare a uniform mixture.
- 3
Make balls from the mixture. If they do not bind, add more flour. If you feel that the mixture is too dry, you can add splashes of water. Be careful not to add a lot of water.
- 4
Heat oil in a pan for frying the falafels
- 5
Once the oil is hot, add the falafel balls and deep fry them. Keep the flame on medium to low else the falafel will brown faster keeping the center raw.
- 6
Remove the fried falafels on paper towels to remove the excess oil.
- 7
Notes: Keep the first ball for the experiment. If you put it in oil and it breaks, add some more flour to the mixture, mix well and prepare falafel balls again. Add about 2 inches of oil to the pan for deep frying. It takes 2-3 minutes to cook each side of the falafel.

Falafel Chickpea Croquettes Falafel Chickpea Croquettes
I learned a falafel recipe from an Israeli person, but the amounts of the ingredients were roughly measured. So I made this recipe after I measured the ingredients properly myself. I replaced coriander with parsley as I don't really like coriander.By using uncooked chickpeas, you can enjoy the fluffy texture of deep-fried falafels.I seasoned the chickpea mixture really well with a generous amount of cumin powder. You can replace the parsley with coriander or dill. For 12. Recipe by Kuminchan

Falafel (Israeli Deep-fried Chickpea Balls) Falafel (Israeli Deep-fried Chickpea Balls)
I love chickpeas. The falafel I ate at an Israeli fast food restaurant (near where my child was boarding in Kyoto -- not in Israel) was so tasty that I wanted to make it on my own.This makes a large quantity, so either freeze or reduce the amount when cooking. You could use curry powder instead of garam masala. If you're making this for children, you might not want to use cayenne pepper. If it tastes too plain after mixing all ingredients, please add some salt. Recipe by Tomoko kitchen
