Ingredients
- 1 cup dried chickpeas
- 1/2 large onion, roughly chopped (about 1 cup)
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1-2 cloves of garlic
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 4-6 tablespoons flour
- Soybean or vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Place dried chickpeas in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Allow to soak overnight, then drain.
- Place drained uncooked chickpeas, and onions in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade.
- Add the parsley, cilantro, salt, hot pepper, garlic, and cumin. Process until blended but not pureed.
- Sprinkle in the baking powder and 4 tablespoons of the flour, and pulse.
- You want to add enough bulgur or flour so that the dough forms a small ball and no longer sticks to your hands.
- Turn into a bowl and refrigerate, covered, for several hours.
- Form the chickpea mixture into balls about the size of walnuts, or use a falafel scoop, available in Middle-Eastern markets.
- Heat 3 inches of oil to 375 in a deep pot or wok and fry 1 ball to test.
- If it falls apart, add a little flour. Then fry about six balls at once for a few minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
- Drain on paper towels.
