Ingredients

• 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)

Directions

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 6

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

Step 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.

Step 8

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