Ingredients diff
- 1 1/2 cups dried chickpeas, soaked overnight
- 1 cup parsley leaves
- 1/2 cup cilantro leaves
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 small onion
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- Flatbreads, tahini sauce, and vegetables for serving
Steps diff
- Pulse soaked chickpeas with herbs, onion, garlic, and spices until the texture resembles coarse wet sand.
- Rest 15 minutes, then shape into compact patties or balls.
- Fry at 350F until deeply golden and crisp, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Warm flatbread and spread with tahini or yogurt sauce.
- Add falafel and vegetables, then wrap tightly and serve warm.
Technique notes diff
- Using soaked uncooked chickpeas | Maintains structure and reduces mushy texture. | Authentic falafel needs crisp edges and fluffy center.
- Heat staging and carryover control | Managing burner intensity and resting windows prevents overshoot from residual heat after active cooking. | This sequence relies on brief finishing steps where controlled carryover keeps texture and flavor balanced.
