How to make super easy, crispy and delicious falafel. Below is the full recipe:
Step 1-Rinse 1 cup chickpeas twice and leave overnight in water. the next day drain the water completley and pulse in a Food processor. It is best to not pulse until smooth we need a bit of coarse texture. once the chickpeas have been pulsed place in a bowl and set aside.
Step 2- in the empty food processor add in
1 medium onion
1 cup coriander leaves
5-10 mint leaves
3 medium garlic
3 green chillis (more if you enjoy it spicy)
now pulse the ingredients together and then add to the food processor the pulsed chickpeas from earlier
step 3 -place the pulsed picture into a bowl and add
Add 1 tbsp and half of All purpose flour
Add 1/2 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp Red mustard seeds (optional)
1tsp cumin seeds
1tsp ground cumin
1tsp full salt.
mix together with a help of little water and shape into patties or balls
Step 4- Fill a medium saucepan 3 inches up with oil. Heat the oil on medium-high until it bubbles softly. Carefully drop the falafel patties in the oil, let them fry for about 2 to 4 minutes or so until crispy and medium brown on the outside. Avoid crowding the falafel in the saucepan, fry them in batches if necessary.
Step 5 – Serve falafel hot I’ve served it with green tomato chutney dip or assemble the falafel patties in pita bread with tahini or hummus and enjoy!
