Lebanese Falafel is one of the most favored of recent trending foods in the world. It’s appreciated by millions daily. It is easy, it’s quick, it tastes delicious. Lebanese Falafel is something which I’ve loved my whole life. They’re nice and they look fantastic.
To get started with this recipe, we must prepare a few components. You can have lebanese falafel using 11 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.
The ingredients needed to make Lebanese Falafel:
Get 1 Cup Chickpeas Dry (soaked for 24 hours)
Prepare 1 Cup Parsley (chopped fine)
Prepare 0.5 Cup Cilantro
Take 2 Onions (medium) roughly chopped
Take 10 Cloves Garlic chopped
Take 3 Green chillies roughly chopped
Prepare 1.5 Tablespoons Coriander Powder
Take 1.5 Tablespoons Cumin Powder
Make ready 1.5 Teaspoons Baking Soda
Take To Taste Salt
Prepare Oil for frying
Steps to make Lebanese Falafel:
Soak the chickpeas overnight or upto 24 hours in the refrigerator for better results. Drain as much water as you can. Too much moisture will prevent the mix from holding shape when made balls
Make the mix: Use the large jar of the blender to pulse together the soaked chickpeas, onions, garlic, green chillies. After 3-4 pulses, coriander and parsley leaves, baking soda, coriander and cumin powder. Note: the mix can be made in batches as well to avoid over crowding the blender jar.
Pulse a few more times. You do not want a fine paste. Just an uneven crumbly mixture that can be made into balls when a handful of mix is lightly pressed together. I say uneven because the bigger bits of chickpeas adds an extra crunch.
Add salt to taste and rest this mix for an atleast hour or even overnight
Make small lemon-sized balls of the mix. At this stage, these can be deep frozen and fried as per requirement. Or, deep fried immediately. Let one side brown before turning. I had to be really delicate with frying these falafels as they could break if I turn them over too quickly.
Fried Falafels can be made into a pita bread sandwich or salad with some tahini sauce, tomatoes, cucumber, etc. Enjoy!
