One day I received a lot of chickpeas. When I started searching for recipes from it, my husband told me about falafel. Next day I tried a falafel recipe. The outcome was good and the taste is delicious. I like these deep fried balls so i thought to share with you guys. I tried again and shared every procedure of falafel.
Falafel is made from white colour ground chickpea. Falafel is a combination of chickpea and spices. Chickpeas must be soft after soaking otherwise it may become difficult to become smooth. Red chilly and pepper you can adjust to your spiciness. Freshly chopped coriander and onion gives nice aroma to the falafel. I added plain flour because of mixing all dry ingredients and absorbing the water in the mixture. Chickpea flour helps to bind with mixture and retain the shape while frying. Baking soda helps to provide fluffy texture inside the fried balls.
Any oil can be used for frying. While frying the balls heat must be in medium flame otherwise it will not cook properly from inside. The falafel must be golden brown on the outside. You can bake the falafel.
Falafel is served immediately when it is done. Because when the balls are warm it is crispy. It is more delicious when served with sauce, hummus or chutney. You can warp the falafel for sandwiches, salad, burger or Pitas.
If you find it difficult to make the balls you can try any other shapes. It will never affect the taste of falafel. Every generation likes this recipe. For kids it is a good snack because it’s less oily food and chickpeas are good for your health.
Thank you guys for giving valuable time for reading my falafel story. Stay connected for the next interesting recipe.
