    Thank you for doing real subtitles!!
    It takes time and effort which is why so many channels use auto caption and never even bother to do a quick proofread, but when subtitles are done right it is REALLY, REALLY appreciated.

    I love falafel, who doesn’t ? Great recipe ! I love Lebanese food and gastronomy, it’s the best in the world. I’m from Norway, I got the chance to study Arabic at the American University of Beirut eight years ago, it was wonderful.... beautiful country, people, rich culture and history. This is Lebanon in a nutshell. Shokran!

    If you use that kind of bread, I can really recommend, to tear it apart, so that you have two round sheets. Then wrap everything in one of the layers and then the other layer around. It holds better like this and the bread gets a nicer consistency. All the good falafel stores here make it like this.

    What a great recipe, I swapped the flour for chickpea flour as I have some to hand, this keeps it gluten free and seems to be a very logical swap if it's simply to mop up excess moisture. Love the tahini sauce too. I have been making these weekly now, they're that good!

    Hi, I made this recipie today. I divided the mixture into two, just like you I baked one batch and fried the other. I would say I definitely prefer the fried version as its more crispy. The baked are also good however you can taste the rawness of the ingredients. I cant wait to make some falafel wraps!! Thankyou so much 💓

    I found your tutorial some time back and finally got around to making these yesterday...WOW! My husband nearly peed his pants they were THAT good! Anyway, I sprouted my chickpeas for several days to boost the nutrient profile, but it didn't taste beany at all once baked (yes, I did the baked version, with generous brushes of olive oil on the surface of each falafel). I'm also a huge garlic fan, so I put 6 cloves in the mix and also added some marjoram for the heck of it. This is going to be a regular for us. I can't say how freaking yummy these turned out. Can't wait to try some of your other recipes. Oh, I don't believe you mentioned what temperature and time to bake these, so for your other viewers, I did it at 350 and about 20 minutes per side.

    You're amazing. You speak faster but your English is clear. Thanks. In fact the falafel at home is much better about taste and healthy food as well.

      @@Feelgoodfoodie For me NO PROBLEM. Being honest, I never follow a 100% recipe. I agree to keep into water at least 8 hours, but in addition to boil them for few minutes. This contributes to adding more elegance to the flavor of the falafel. In addition, I rather to grind it quite fine. Peppermint es very important. Few wheat flour spoons and a small egg, as well. That's my FALAFEL recipe! Because the egg moisten the dough a lot, I use 50% of the onion and garlic in powder form.
