Crispy Chickpea Falafel

Falafel, what a fancy dish! Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside with aromatic spices, this is a perfect snack. With a fancy name and Middle Eastern roots, the preparation is as simple as blend, shape, and fry. Here is a step-by-step process by the exporter of sunflower oil for blending, shaping, and frying the delectable falafel.


Ingredients:

  • Chickpeas dry - 2 cups

  • Garlic cloves -  6

  • Onion cubed - 1 

  • Coriander chopped -  ½ cup

  • Cumin grounded - 2 tsp

  • Coriander powder -  2 tsp

  • Black pepper powder - 1 tsp

  • Red chilli powder as per preference

  • Salt - adjust to taste

  • Chickpea flour - 2 tbsp

  • Oil for frying


Method:

  • Rinse and soak the chickpeas in water for 12 hours or leave overnight. If the chickpeas are too old, let them soak for another two or three hours.

  • Once soaked, rinse them and drain them using a strainer or colander.

  • Now take a blender and add the chickpeas, cumin powder, pepper powder, coriander powder, red chilli powder, salt, onion, garlic, chopped coriander, and chickpea flour. Blend it into a coarse mixture. Note: Do not add water while blending.

  • The texture will look like that of semolina. To ensure the dough has the correct texture, take a tablespoon of the paste, place it in your palm, pat it, and shape it into a ball. If the mixture holds its shape, it is ready. If not, process it until you achieve the right texture. Once the texture is ready, add the baking powder.

  • In a kadai, heat oil on a medium flame enough for partial frying. 

  • Once the oil is hot (check by dropping a small portion), shape the dough into balls and drop them in the oil one by one. Do not overcrowd.

  • Flip it once one side is firm or golden brown. Fry them on a medium flame until golden brown.

  • Remove it from the oil and place it in a strainer to drain the excess oil.

Serve it hot with a dip of your choice. Your crispy falafel is ready to be munched.
