Chickpea Falafels is one of the most popular of recent trending foods on earth. It is simple, it is fast, it tastes delicious. It’s appreciated by millions daily. They are nice and they look fantastic. Chickpea Falafels is something which I’ve loved my entire life.

To get started with this recipe, we have to first prepare a few components. You can cook chickpea falafels using 10 ingredients and 8 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.

The ingredients needed to make Chickpea Falafels:

1. Get 1 cup chickpeas (rinsed and drained)
2. Take 4 scallions
3. Prepare 2 cloves garlic
4. Prepare 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
5. Prepare 1/4 cup chopped mint
6. Take 1/4 cup chopped parsley
7. Take 1 teaspoon cumin
8. Make ready 1/2 teaspoon salt
9. Make ready 1/2 cup plain dried breadcrumbs
10. Get oil to fry

Instructions to make Chickpea Falafels:

1. If you use canned chickpeas, go ahead to rinse them all. If you use dried chickpeas, leave them in water overnight and rise them well before cooking.
2. Place the drained chickpeas, garlic and salt in a bowl of a food processor and press until blended and chopped into fine pieces.
3. Add parsley, mint, cilantro, cumin, and breadcrumbs (or panko) and press until blended well.
4. It's time to form balls! I used my hands to form them. You can do it as I did, but you can also use falafel spoon which is available at an Arabic market or just 2 spoons to form balls. I was able to make 16 falafels with this recipe.
5. A point is that it is better not to form a big ball because it can be broken while frying it.
6. Heat the oil high (any oil can work. I used vegi oil.) It should be high heat to make brownish good-looking falafels.
7. Place falafels into the oil and fry them until their surface turn into brown. I fried 4 pieces at once to avoid falafels from being broken.
8. Drain fried falafels on kitchen paper and ready to serve! (Please try hummus and tahini recipes as well and eat with your falafels. Shukran!!)
