Directions
30 min.
1. Step
In a large bowl, soak the dried chickpeas overnight. Make sure to cover them with water and add a pinch of baking soda.
2. Step
The next day, drain and rinse the chickpeas. Combine the chickpeas, onion, garlic, cilantro, cumin, coriander, baking powder, flour, and salt. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This will help the mixture firm up.
3. Step
Shape the chilled falafel mixture into small patties, roughly 1 inch thick and 2 inches in diameter.
4. Step
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer over medium heat. Fry the falafel patties in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the cooked falafel to a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
5. Step
Serve the falafel hot in warmed pita bread, with lettuce, tomato, cucumber slices, and a generous drizzle of tahini sauce.
