CRISPY FALAFEL

STEP 1

Grind together chickpeas, onions, garlic, green chillies, sesame seeds, cumin powder, coriander and mint leaves together in a food processor until grainy.

STEP 2

Do not make it a fully smooth mixture.

STEP 3

Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl and add salt, all purpose flour, baking powder and sesame seeds. Mix to combine.

STEP 4

Refrigerate this for 30 minutes.

STEP 5

Use this mixture to make approximately 20-22 lime sized balls. Set aside for frying.

STEP 6

Set up a kadai or pot with one and half inch oil for deep frying. Once the oil is hot (160C-175C), drop in the balls one by one and fry on medium flame or until golden brown.

STEP 7

Use a skimmer to remove from the oil once cooked and transfer to a plate lined with a paper towel and serve hot along with Hummus and Pita!

Happy Cooking :)
