Ingredients Directions

Main Ingredients

Onion: Finely chopped onion is added to the chickpea mixture to add flavor and moisture.
Garlic: Minced garlic is also added to the mixture for flavor.
Parsley and cilantro: These herbs are added to the mixture for flavor and aroma.
Spices: Cumin, coriander, and ground pepper are typically added to the mixture for flavor. Some recipes may also include other spices like cardamom or nutmeg.
Flour: Some recipes may call for a small amount of flour to be added to the mixture to help bind the ingredients together.
Salt: Salt is added to the mixture for flavor.

Tips

Soak the chickpeas overnight before making the falafel mixture. This will help to soften the chickpeas and make them easier to grind.
Use a food processor to grind the chickpeas and herbs together. You can also use a meat grinder or a mortar and pestle if you prefer a more traditional method.
Be sure to add enough herbs and spices to the falafel mixture. The herbs and spices are what give falafel its unique flavor and are what makes it different from other bean-based patties.
Add some baking soda to the mixture. This will help to make the falafel light and fluffy when fried.
Use Chickpea flour as a binder. it will help to hold the mixture together and make it easier to shape the falafel into balls or patties.
Fry the falafel in a deep fryer or a pot with deep enough oil. This will ensure that the falafel cooks evenly and become crispy on the outside.
Serve the falafel in pita bread with toppings such as lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, tahini sauce, and other condiments of your choice.
Keep in mind that you can use different ingredient to substitute. For example, if you can’t find parsley or cilantro, you can use other herbs such as dill or mint. You can also substitute fava beans for chickpeas, or add some other ingredients like grated carrots or sweet potatoes to make a different version of the falafel.
Experiment with different flavorings and seasonings to find the combination that you like best.
