Falafel - are deep fried balls of ground chickpeas with spices. This dish is popular in Israel, North Africa and is loved in many other countries. Vegetarians also loved the falafel, they even make Shawarma with it)).

Step by step recipe description:

Soak chickpeas for several hours (preferably overnight). Pour one liter of cold water to a saucepan, add baking soda and chickpeas.

Drain the water in the morning.

Peel and finely chop onions and garlic.

Wash, dry and finely chop parsley and cilantro.

Grind the chickpeas in a blender (mixer, grinder) together with the onion, garlic and herbs to a homogeneous paste.

Add salt and spices to the mixture.

Stir thoroughly. If the mass is very wet and doesn't hold the ball shape, you can add some flour or breadcrumbs.

Roll the balls the size of a walnut with wet hands, press the balls, so that they turn tight.

Pour some oil in a saucepan so as to cover a little more than half of the ball. Preheat oil. Fry falafel until golden brown on all sides, for about 3-4 minutes.
