Middle Eastern food is gaining a lot of popularity among health and diet conscious people. One such recipe is which is quite famous is falafel. Traditionally a deep fried snack made with chickpeas, spices and herbs. But it’s very easy to convert it to a healthy snack by simply pan frying it with very little oil like I have done, or baking it in an oven or air fryer. Served with some home-made creamy and healthy hummus it makes for a very healthy and filling snack. It is bursting with flavors and texture and is an explosion house of nutrients.
