Ingredients
- 400 gram Chickpeas Soaked from can
- 1 clove Garlic
- 4.4 gram Cumin Ground
- 1 pcs. Onion
- 1 pcs. Egg
- 4.6 gram Cayenne Pepper
- 2 tbsp Grate
- 0.5 bunch Parsley Fresh
- 0.5 bunch Cilantro Fresh
Instructions
- Drain the chickpeas and rinse them.
- Get out your food processor or blender, and gather all the ingredients in it.
- Blend everything until the consistency is uniform.
- Then form your mixture into small balls.
- Heat the oil in a pan, heavy-bottomed pot, or deep fryer (at 170 degrees Celsius (338 degrees Fahrenheit)).
- Fry them for a few minutes until they are crispy on the outside on both sides. Do not fry too many at a time, so the oil does not drop in temperature.
- If you are using a pan/pot, turn them midway so they get brown and crispy on each side. They should have 2-4 minutes.
- Place the finished falafel on a piece of paper towel and let them drain.
Notes
TIP: If you want a healthier version, the falafel can also be baked in the oven at 200 degrees Celsius (392 degrees Fahrenheit) for 15-20 minutes. They will be a bit lighter in color. However, it is a good idea to dip them in a bit of oil beforehand, it helps them to get a crust.
