Crispy Fried Garbanzo Bean/Chickpea Fritter Recipe | Arabic Snacks | Middle Eastern Delicacy |

Falafel is a traditional Middle Eastern food, usually served in a pita, which acts as a pocket, or wrapped in a flatbread (Tortillas) known as lafa; "falafel" also frequently refers to a wrapped sandwich that is prepared in this way. The falafel balls are topped with salads, pickled vegetables, hot sauce, and drizzled with tahini-based sauces. Falafel balls may also be eaten alone as a snack or served as part of a meze (appetizers). Falafel is a common dish eaten throughout the Middle East. The fritters are now found around the world as a replacement for meat and as a form of street food. This vegan dish is made with simple, everyday ingredients and you won’t believe how easy it is.

Soak Chickpeas overnight with 1 tsp of baking powder.

Scoop mixture in your palm and shape it into balls or patties.



Deep fry balls and shallow fry the patties


Serve hot with hummus and tahini sauce or make wrap in tortilla and pockets in pita bread.




Tips and suggestions:
1: No canned chickpeas (very important!) If you're after the best texture and flavour, you need to start with dry chickpeas. Many falafel recipes use canned chickpeas which is not authentic and will cause the falafel patties disintegrate in the hot cooking oil. 2: Make ahead and freezer friendly. I love that this recipe can be prepped ahead of time, and you can freeze uncooked falafel patties for later use. 3: Add baking powder to the falafel mixture before forming into balls/patties. As a raising agent, baking powder here helps make the falafel on the fluffy side. 4: For baked falafel Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and lightly oil a baking sheet. Give each patty a quick brush of extra virgin olive oil before baking; bake for about 15 to 20 minutes, turning the falafel patties over halfway through baking. 5: To freeze: Place uncooked falafel patties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for 1 hour. Once hardened, transfer the patties into a freezer bag and freeze for up to 1 month. Falafel can be cooked from frozen by frying or baking.

I have used green chilli paste but you can use fresh green chillies. My version is little bits spicy as i like it this way, you can use less spices as per taste.
