What is Falafel?
If you have never been a flapfell before, they are a classic street food that emerges from the Middle East. These small fried patties are made of mashed beans (fountains or chana/garbenzo), which have a mixture of fresh herbs and spices, which have parsley, cilantro and cumin. With a soft center they are in the outside brown and crisp. If you are trying to reduce the consumption of veggies, vegetarian or your meat, homemade flafel is a perfect protein-pack option!
My version of this tasty treat is certainly not genuine, as I use canned chana and flour. But if you want to try to make a genuine flaffell or read more about the culture and history behind it, see this recipe Mediterranent dish??

Here's what you need to make this simple flaffell recipe:
- Canned Chana: I always use canned chana because they are quick (not soaked), easily accessible and cheap. If you like you can use dried chanaces; Just soak them overnight and make about 3 cups worth (which is equivalent to the two standard 15-ounce cans).
- Flour: I use all the purposes to tie the mixture together. You can also use chana or garbanzo bean flour to keep this recipe gluten-free.
- Baking powder: The combination of canned chana and flour can make the patties quite dense, so I add some baking powder to offset it. It helps to create a light texture on the inside of the outside.
- Red onion: A nice bite and adds a texture. Any color will work here onion, but I love the taste of red onion in this recipe.
- Fresh parsley and cilantro: It adds a fresh and vibrant taste. Don't like cilantro? No problem – just use additional parsley. I do not recommend dried herbs here, as they will not taste fresh.
- Garlic: I use four whole cloves, so the garlic taste is certainly not deficient!
- Cooking Oil: Use any neutral cooking oil suitable for frying. Some options include avocado oil, canoe oil, vegetable oil or grape oil.
- Seasoning: Taste with a little kick of salt, red pepper and cumin heat. If you are sensitive to spices, freely to reduce the amount of redness or to completely exclude it.
Can I bake them?
I always get questions about whether you can bake Falafel and I don't really suggest that. In my test, I found that they do not get a nice frying crisp exterior and they could dry. Some readers have succeeded in the use of air fryer for about 370 ° C for about 15 minutes, but I have not tested this method in person.
- If you have a small food processor, process the elements in the batch. This recipe forms a large group of Falafell Mix and I don't want to do much work on your food processor! If you have a small, divide the component and process in the batch.
- Avoid pieces of large ingredients. I like to have some textures of my patties, but they can fall down while frying large pieces of onion or chana. Be sure to process the components until the chin paste form.
- Do not skip the flour and add it to the batch. Mixture Will Hold together without adding flour, but I can almost guarantee that the patties will fall down while cooking it. You want to add flour to the batch (starting with 2 tablespoons) until the mixture is ready in the ball, it does not thick.
- Let the mixture rest. It rehydrates the flour, enhances the taste and makes it easier to prepare in Patty. Cover for at least one hour before cooking and refrigerate. You can leave it overnight and fry them the next day.
- Make sure the oil is hot. One of the reasons I prefer a deep frying pan-frying is that I don't have to constantly check the temperature of oil. However, it is still important to make sure the oil is hot. It should be hot and shiny but do not smoke. When they hit the pan on the pan, the hot oil immediately produces crispy crust on the patties (another trick to help keep their shape).
- Don't rush the pan. Adding a lot of patties to hot oil will reduce the temperature and affect the cooking time and texture. I like to cook it in the batch, leaving enough space for everyone to cook.
How to serve Falafell
I don't think I have ever been tired of Falafel Raps or Flatbred with fresh greens and tahini sauce.

Storage, freezing, and rehabing
I usually freeze some cooked patties as an alternative to a busy night. I make the mixture, but instead of frying, I freeze them on a baking sheet with parchment-aster and until the freezer bag is transferred. Because they are just small, you can pan from freezing without changing them.
Any remaining (after cooking) should be stored in a cold and 3-4 days in the fridge, which will make it excellent Dinner! You can freeze them for up to 3 months. Heat it in a microwave or oven if desired (best to maintain a crisp outer).
