How to make homemade falafel recipe/ delicious classic falafel recipe by

Falafel is a popular Middle Eastern dish made from ground chickpeas mixed with fresh herbs, garlic, and spices, then shaped into small balls or patties and fried until crispy. It’s a versatile, vegetarian food that’s loved for its crispy exterior and soft,falafel can be a satisfying meal or snack. Here’s a classic falafel recipe to try at home:
Ingredients:
• 1 cup dried chickpeas (soaked overnight; do not use canned chickpeas)
• 1 small onion, roughly chopped
• 3-4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon coriander
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 3-4 tablespoons flour or chickpea flour
• Oil for frying
Steps:
1. Soak the Chickpeas
Rinse dried chickpeas, place in a bowl, and cover with water. Soak overnight for at least 12 hours. Drain and rinse before using.
2. Blend Ingredients
In a food processor, add the soaked chickpeas, onion, garlic, parsley, cumin, coriander, salt, black pepper, and cayenne. Pulse until you have a coarse mixture that holds together when squeezed.
3. Add Baking Powder and Flour
Transfer the mixture to a bowl, sprinkle in the baking powder, and add flour a tablespoon at a time until the mixture is just firm enough to form into balls.
4. Shape the Falafel
Scoop about 1-2 tablespoons of the mixture, pressing it into balls or patties with your hands. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment.
5. Cook the Falafel
• Frying Method: Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C). Fry falafel in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper
Tips
Enjoy falafel in pita bread with a drizzle of tahini or hummus, with fresh salads, or even on its own as a snack.
• Storage: Store uncooked falafel in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to a month.
Falafel is flavorful, packed with protein, and customizable to your preferred spices and herbs. Its golden, crunchy outside and soft, herby inside make it a beloved dish across the world.
