🥘 Ingredients

12 items

• 2 cups Chickpeas (cooked or canned, drained and rinsed)
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Fresh parsley (finely chopped)
• 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro (finely chopped)
• 2 units Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 tablespoon Water (if needed)
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil (for frying)

📝 Instructions

8 steps

1. In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, parsley, cilantro, and garlic. Pulse until the mixture forms a rough paste. Be careful not to over-process; the mixture should still have some texture.

2. Transfer the chickpea mixture to a mixing bowl. Add the flour, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, black pepper, and baking powder. Mix well until the ingredients are fully combined.

3. If the mixture feels too dry to hold together, add water one tablespoon at a time until it forms a cohesive dough that holds its shape when pressed.

4. Using clean hands, form the mixture into small patties, about 2 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick. You should get around 12 patties.

5. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. To test if the oil is hot enough, drop a tiny piece of the mixture into the pan; it should sizzle immediately.

6. Carefully place the falafel patties in the hot oil, leaving some space between each patty. Fry in batches if necessary.

7. Cook the patties for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

8. Serve the falafel patties warm with pita bread, hummus, tahini sauce, or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
