In a mixer put the above mentioned ingredients along with boiled chana except olive oil. Pulse it & slowly add olive oil. Pulse again. Add olive oil till it forms a thick paste. Also add the chana water to adjust the consistency of hummus.
Take it out in a serving bowl. Garnish with chopped parsley and lal mirch powder.
To make the Falafel : In a bowl crush the boiled chana with a spoon. In a mixer pulse onion, garlic & hari mirchi.
Mix this with Chana. Add all the falafel masalas. Add bread crumbs not all at once. Add slowly to make a dense mixture to easily make Falafel.
Take a small portion of it. Make small round balls, flatten it. Shallow fry it in a pan or tawa, with oil.
Serve hot with Cream cracker biscuits, Salads like lettuce leaves, Carrots & Cucumbers.
