Recipe
Ingredients
- 200g soaked chickpeas
- 1 small onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 bunch parsley
- 1 bunch coriander
- 3 tsp bi-carb soda
- Juice of one lemon
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- Dash of cold water
- Oil for frying
Method
1. Add your soaked chickpeas, onion and garlic to a food processor and blitz until coarse (sand consistency).
2. Add the parsley, coriander, spices, bi-carb soda and lemon juice and blitz again until it forms a loose dough.
3. At this point add a small dash of cold water. Try to add as little as possible because if you add too much the dough will become too wet.
4. Heat some vegetable or canola oil to 160°C. Roll your falafel dough into balls and cook for 4-5 minutes or until a nice golden crust is formed on the outside. Remove and place on some paper to dry.
5. Serve with hummus or in a pita with veg and yogurt
