- Number of Servings: 24
Ingredients
Chickpeas/Garbanzo beans - 1 cup ( to be soaked overnight) or 1 can drainedOnion - 1/2Fresh Parsley - 1 cup loosely packedGarlic - 2 clovesWhole Wheat Flour - 2 tablespoonsBaking powder - 1 teaspoonCumin powder - 1 tablespoonCoriander powder - 1/4 tablespoonChilli powder - 1 teaspoonOlive oil - 1 spoonsSalt and Pepper to taste
Soak the chickpeas overnight in water. It should double in size. Alternatively, you could use the canned ones. Drain the liquid.
In a blender, add all the ingredients together and blend to form a coarse and chunky mixture.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and cover it with a damp cloth and allow it to rest for half an hour. it would rise a bit.
Take a muffin pan and grease with oive oil or cooking spray.
Take a tablespoonful of the mixture and place in each muffin pan. You can use an icecream scoop for easier shaping. You could also use a cookie/baking sheet instead of the muffin pan alternatively. i used the muffin pan since it gives a good shape to the falafels.
Do not put too much batter in each falafel. Keep it thin so that it turns out crispy.
Bake at 375F in a preheated oven for about 30 minutes, flipping the falafels half way through.
In the final two minutes turn the oven to broiling mode in order to get crispy falafels. Take care they do not burn.
