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

1. Place dried chickpeas in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Allow to soak overnight, then drain.
2. Place drained uncooked chickpeas, and onions in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade.
3. Add the parsley, cilantro, salt, hot pepper, garlic, and cumin. Process until blended but not pureed.
4. Sprinkle in the baking powder and 4 tablespoons of the flour, and pulse.
5. You want to add enough bulgur or flour so that the dough forms a small ball and no longer sticks to your hands.
6. Turn into a bowl and refrigerate, covered, for several hours.
7. Form the chickpea mixture into balls about the size of walnuts, or use a falafel scoop, available in Middle-Eastern markets.
8. Heat 3 inches of oil to 375 in a deep pot or wok and fry 1 ball to test.
9. 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.
10. Drain on paper towels.
