Instructions

  1. Soak the chick peas overnight .
  2. Drain the water in the morning and put these straight into the food processor.
  3. Add all the rest of the ingredients and grind them together.
  4. Remember you need to keep the mixture a little grainy ,don’t over grind or itll turn into hummus.
  5. Transfer the mixture into a bowl with a lid.
  6. Refrigerate this for atleast 2 hours. I suggest if you have to make these in the evening then prepare the mixture in the afternoon,so there is no rush and it can rest in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
  7. After 2 hour, Mix soda bicarb into the mixture dissolved in 1tbsp water( this step is optional as this is tho make the balls a bit fluffy) .Now,heat oil in a skillet or pan only upto half the height of the falafel ball.Fry them in hot oil t
