Hey everyone, it’s Jim, welcome to my recipe site. Today, I will show you a way to make a special dish, falafels. One of my favorites. For mine, I’m gonna make it a bit tasty. This will be really delicious.

Falafel (pronounced "fell-off-uhl"), sometimes spelled "felafel" or "felafil," is a deep-fried ball or patty that is made from either chickpeas or fava beans and spices. Falafel (/ f ə ˈ l ɑː f əl /; Arabic: فلافل ‎, [fæˈlæːfɪl] (), dialectal: [fæˈlæːfel]) is a deep-fried ball or patty made from ground chickpeas, fava beans, or both. Falafel is a traditional Middle Eastern food, commonly served in a pita, which acts as a pocket, or wrapped in a flatbread known as taboon; "falafel" also frequently refers to a wrapped sandwich that is.

Falafels is one of the most popular of current trending meals in the world. It is simple, it is fast, it tastes delicious. It’s enjoyed by millions daily. Falafels is something which I have loved my whole life. They are fine and they look fantastic.

To get started with this particular recipe, we have to prepare a few ingredients. You can have falafels using 13 ingredients and 7 steps. Here is how you cook it.

Another modification I used was adding a half. Seems cooks have had trouble making 'balls'. These falafels are the closest thing to NYC street vendor falafels! Made the traditional way with dried soaked chickpeas!

Steps to make Falafels:

1. Gather all your ingredients together
2. Place all ingredients apart from cooking oil into a food processor. Pulse until you get a texture that is slightly rough.
3. Put in a bowl, place in a fridge or a cool place for 30 minutes.
4. Using a tablespoon or your hands, scoop the mixture and shape into balls or disks.
5. Heat cooking oil in a cooking pot.
6. Deep fry the falafels until they turn a beautiful brown colour each side.
7. Remove from oil and enjoy it cold, warm or hot.

Great on a pita with lettuce, cucumber and yogurt. Asafoetida is usually found in Middle Eastern or Indian food stores. Fry falafels until golden, then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and season immediately with salt. To make yogurt sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together yogurt, lemon juice, oil, and dill. Dry chickpeas are naturally starchy and will help your falafels to stay well formed.
