Falafel from scratch (Mediterranean
chickpea patties)
| I'll tell you what you can
put there :

Most people don't bother to make falafel from scratch, but the taste
is sooo much better! This recipe serves 4-5 people (about 20
balls). |
I'll tell you what you can do
:
While
falafel
is quick to make by buying the
mix (see my recipe) from your local
supermarket, a fresh falafel is a whole lot better. It's
also healthier because it contains fresh vegetables and
a lot less salt than the mix.
This is an authentic Israeli falafel recipe. Enjoy!
First, soak the chickpeas (aka garbanzo
beans) in plenty of water overnight. Drain them in the morning. If you haven't got
the time, use canned chickpeas (for this recipe one 15-oz
can, drained, should do). In a food processor, finely chop
the onions, garlic, parsley and cilantro. If your food
processor is large, you can then add the chickpeas as
well. Otherwise, mash the chickpeas up in a large bowl
and then throw in the onion/herb mixture. Add your spices:
about 2 teaspoons of cumin, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon
of coriander. I like to throw in a little hot pepper too
when my wife isn't looking! Finally, mix in the flour and
baking powder, which will make the mix into more of a dough.
Cover and place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

After waiting patiently for at least
two hours (it's important!), remove the falafel mix from
the refrigerator. In a large pot, heat up vegetable oil
for frying, careful not to let it smoke too much. To form
the falafel balls, I use two spoons and gently slip them
into the oil one by one. It takes just a couple of minutes
to deep fry each side. Remove onto some paper towels.
When
you're done eat your falafel with some homemade
hummus or
with tahini sauce. And why not? Pepperocinis and pickles
too!

Falafel
Tip
The most common problem people encounter when cooking falafel is
that the mixture falls apart as soon as it hits the hot oil.
This happens if you don't leave the mixture to sit covered
in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours prior to frying.
Also, your pot and oil must get very hot (but not smoking
of course). Your patience in these two aspects is rewarded
with falafel that is sooo good!
Cick here for a falafel from the box tune-up!

Best of luck, Moti

Dear Moti,
Thanks for the recipe. Good on ya! Sounds great and looking forward to
trying it. Going to have a 'felafel feast' at the hostel for our friends
and guests tomorrow! I just know from the ingredients and method this is
what I am looking for!

just helps keep it together.

Dear Moti,
i loved the falafel, i used a food processor which gave it an airy texture
and i fried immediately. the balls did not fall apart at all. i assume its
because of the processor. the 1st time i made i w the canned and the second
time soaking the beans. the consistency also was a lot better the second
time i made it using the fresh beans as opposed to the cans.

Dear Moti, I cooked the falafel today. I also add the anchovies in my
falafel, and it tastes great. I ate my falafel and listening to Arab
patriotic song during the time of Gamal Abdel nasser (1953-1970). I feel
like I am the Arab Socialist fighter under Gamal Nasser, I feel very happy.
Example of song, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIrfSJL10JM. I cooked my
falafel and listened this song to commemorate the 55th anniversary of the
Union between Egypt and Syria under United Arab Republic on 22 February
1958.

Oh, forgot, and then I put the flour and baking soda in and mashed it with
a potato masher until everything was mixed! Still have a great texture, not
wet or mushy! And holding together already! I'm so excited. Can't wait for
two hours to go by!

Dear Moti,
I am making this recipe as we speak ;-) It smells so good in here with all
the spices. I just put it into the fridge. I used dried chick peas, soaked
for 24 hours. Put all in the Vita Mix processor, without the flour and
baking powder, and added some fresh squeezed lemon juice (i've always used
that for falafel.) I will let you all know how they turn out!

Dear Moti, I have made your recipe 3 times, and every time it gets better.
I too had problems with other recipes falling apart in the pan. The
refridgeration is essential. I ended up losing your recipe and just today
found you again. Thank you so much.

Dear Moti,
I tried to make these before I found your website and advice - I will put
them in the frig for 2 hours and see if they dont fall apart when frying.
That is the problem I am having..I am considering baking them next time
also and making them more into flatter patties rather than balls so the
inside cooks and they dont fall apart... It was just a mess lol.
Thanks for the tip.

Dear Moti, I have just one question. You say, "If you don't have time, use
canned chickpeas." But canned chickpeas are cooked. Dried chickpeas are not
cooked. That's a huge difference in a falafel recipe, wouldn't you say?

Dear Moti, I've been looking for a fresh falafel recipe. I'm allergic to
chickpeas. So substituted lentils--only need to soak a couple of hours
before grinding. Works pretty well. of source the taste is a little
different. But thanks for the great recipe guidelines.
And the Pita recipe is great as well. i also cheat a little here: dry
fried a few mixed seeds and put them into the flour adds another dimension
of crunch.

Dear jrs,
The mix should definitely be stored in the refrigerator. I've never tried
the freezer (I'm anxious to eat it!) but I suppose if you allowed enough
time to thaw, it should be fine. Just consider that you never want to throw
something frozen into hot oil, so be patient allowing it to thaw.

Dear Moti,
Perhaps all chickpeas should come with a link to your website, with the
caveat that one should look at it before starting to make falfel. It would
save a lot of grief.
Oddly enough, none of the many recipes I have for falfel advised as you
have done, hence the 'soup'.
Well, the falafel, even though falafel soup, tastes delicious, and there is
no question that it will become a regular meal. Thank you.

Dear Moti,
Great recipe, thank you! I actually soak, then sprout my chick peas. Then I
use a pressure cooker for a few minutes to cook them. Also the sauce I like
is done in the food processor and includes: tahini, lemon, garlic, plain
yogurt, mayonnaise, a little honey, and sometimes fresh parsley and/or
cilantro. I use the yogurt to lighten it and the mayo just balances it all
out. I thin with water to desired consistency and use over my falafel and
tabbouleh. Yum!!
Joan writes:
(08 Jul 2011, 06:05)
Dear Moti,
The felafel were fantastic. To answer some of the problems: after soaking
chickpeas for over 24 hrs they were still unmashable. I placed them and the
water in a pot, brought to a boil, shut off heat and covered for about 1
hour. They were mashable yet not mushy. My mixture came out a beautiful
dough like and held together even prior to chilling.
After chilling, I briefly dusted in some cumin flavored flour and deep
fried them. They did not fall apart.!
Thank you for the wonderful recipe.

Dear Moti, One way to tell if the garbanzo beans are fully soaked is to cut

is fully soaked.

it goes.

Moti writes:
(09 May 2011, 09:03)
Dear Vanessa,
I'm sorry you had a bad experience. It sounds like you are buying very old
chickpeas! If you can't get fresher ones (Middle Eastern markets are
usually best since people area actually buying chickpeas there) than use
the can. Obviously you can cook them as well if they aren't soft enough,
but if soaking them overnight wasn't successful I wouldn't even use those
old chickpeas.
Best,
Moti
Vanessa writes:

Dear Moti,
I was dubious about the tenderness of chickpeas soaked overnight, and was
proven right today when I did a test batch. My chickpeas were soaked a
good long while longer than just overnight, but were totally unmashable. I
even took a mallet to them in frustration! Bits of chickpea all over the
place was no fun. I don't have a food processor. Tried them in the
blender but they just got swept to the sides without much blending going
on. I really want to try your recipe, but I think I'm going to have to
pre-cook those pesky chickpeas.

Dear Karina,
Falafel in the middle east is always great! The red sauce you are talking
about goes by a lot of names, but is always made of crushed red peppers. In
America the closest one is called "Harissa" and usually sold by Moroccans,
but basically any red pepper sauce is great. I actually love Indian and
Mexican hot sauces. As for the mango, my guess is they put on Amba -- an
Indian mango pickle. For those who don't know, it tastes nothing like a
mango but rather of tumeric and other spices. This can also be found in
many international supermarkets. I don't have any recipes for these, but
perhaps it's worth experimenting!

a spicy sauce on the falafel and I have no idea what it was...but it was

Dear Moti,
I have used chick pea flour in place of the regular flour as a binder, adds
more flavor. As far as wet, falling apart, etc, I think using dried
garbonzos, letting them soak at least 8 hours, drained well and pureed with
the other ingredients until pretty smooth works. Using canned garbonzos
just won't work for this, too wet. Going to try freezing since I have a lot
left.

Tonight I made fresh pita bread and tahini dressing and then was happily
sticking falafel in the hot oil when BAM! They just disintegrated in the
frying pan. After I had an emotional meltdown I found your recipe here
after a quick google search. I picked myself up off the floor (almost
literally) and returned to the task. I put the falafel in the freezer for
about 30 minutes and then rolled them in flour before putting them in the
hot oil. It worked! They were amazing, perfectly round, golden brown drops
of heaven! My husband enjoyed them almost as much as my drama.

Dear Gene,
If your falafel is falling apart, even after waiting several hours, the
most likely culprit is that they are still too wet. (This is why people add
flour -- flour doesn't help it stay together as much as it helps dry it
out). My suggestions are:
1) Before placing in the fridge, make sure it's pretty dry and drain any
excess liquid
2)Leave it overnight next time
3) Add a bit more flour if it's still too wet.
4) When rolling the balls, play with the dough a bit longer to active the
gluten
Hopefully the combination of these things will help you!

Dear Moti,
I just tried making falafel for the second time (third, fourth, fifth). Day
one, balls fell apart in the oil. Day two, I found your website and the
comment about letting the balls sit for a while. By this time, they sat for
more than two hours. Tried again and they still fell apart. Day three, I
bought a thermometer to make sure the oil was hot enough. Still fell apart.
I followed a recipe that uses flour instead of baking powder. I used canola
oil which I let reach 350 degrees. I add just a single ball. It starts out
fine, but then when it really gets cooking, it falls apart within 30
seconds. I'm at a loss. I've asked around and no one I know has ever
attempted it. Any suggestions?

Dear Renae,
Egg may help to bind the falafel, but it will change the taste and texture
considerably. The true way to make it bind is refrigeration! As for the
pan-fry -- it just won't work, sorry! I've tried. Best of luck! If you
discover something new, be sure to let me know!
Renae writes:
(11 Feb 2009, 03:05)
Dear Moti,
I have never cooked Falafel, and am testing different tips. I have heard
that egg with flour helps the Falafel bind really well. Also, I don't want
to fry them in a lot of oil - maybe just brown a couple minutes on each
side with cooking spray in the pan and/or a little oil, and then bake.
Will you please tell me what you think?
thank you!

Let me try and answer both of these last questions. First, you can
substitute baking soda for baking powder (divide the amount in half
though), or you can just leave it out of the recipe. The falafel will be
less springy though. As for cooker's question, falafel dough lasts just a
couple of days in the refrigerator. you may have better luck frying them
all up and freezing the balls instead.

Dear Moti,
This really sounds good, but i am been looking for a recipe to make my own
falafel mix in a large amount to be able to just mix it up when I want
it...does a recipe exist for this !?

Sorry mg! It's baking powder. I've corrected it in the falafel recipe.
Enjoy!

Dear Moti, is it baking soda or baking powder? You say BP in the
ingredients but then BS in the receipe.
