Ingredients for Foolproof Falafel Recipe!
- 2 cups soaked chickpeas
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 red chili
- 1/2 cup parsley
- 1/2 cup coriander leaves
- 1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp. ground cumin
- 1/4 tsp. garam masala
- 1/2 tbsp. salt
- vegetable oil enough for frying
Instructions
- First, pull off the stems of the parsley and coriander leaves. Now, put the soaked chickpeas*, garlic cloves, coriander leaves, parsley, and red chili in a hand-blender and hand-grind it until the mixture is even and finely ground.
- Tip: To check whether your mixture is ready, take a handful of it, and make it into a ball. If it doesn’t break apart, it is ready!
- Take out your ready mixture into a bowl and blend the spices (ground cumin, salt, garam masala and lemon juice) into it and blend it together.
- Tip: If your mixture isn’t binding try adding 1 tbsp. plain flour in it.
- Now take out a frying pan and place it on your stove. Pour your vegetable oil into the frying pan and turn your stove on medium heat.
- Tip: To check whether your oil is hot enough take 1/4 tsp of your mixture and try dipping it in the oil. If a few bubbles rise that means your oil is hot enough for frying. If not, wait for a few more minutes.
- Now using your hands, make small balls out of your mixture (oval-shaped) and start frying them until they turn golden brown. Your falafels are now ready!
