Falafels Fit For The Pharaohs

The taste of Eygpt right in your own home with some very basic ingredients. Read on and I’ll show you how to make them. Yum!



1. Gather the ingredients together

The first thing to do is to gather all of the ingredients together. All that’s needed are chickpeas (I use tinned), red onion, garlic, ground cumin and coriander, chili powder, fresh parsley, flour, and sunflower oil for the cooking.

Gather the ingredients together

The ingredient measurements are listed in the printable recipe below and make four good sized falafels. Just scale up or down as you need.


2. Make the falafels

Making the falafels is actually very easy. All that needs to be done is to blitz all of the ingredients in a food processor and for the falafel paste.

Start by adding everything to the blender.

Add all ingredients to a blender

Next, just blitz until smooth. You may need to stop the blender a couple of time and mix the ingredients together again but the smooth paste should result in a minute or 2.

Blend to a smooth paste

This is optional but if you have the time then I recommend placing the paste in a fridge for around an hour before forming the falafels. This just makes the paste a little firmer to work with.

When ready to form the falafels just split the mix evenly. The measurements below make 4 good sized falafels. Now, roll each portion into a ball and flatten with your fingers to make a half inch thick patties. If the mixture is sticky when forming the falafels just use a little flour on your hands.

3. Cook and serve the falafels

To cook the falafels all that needs to happen is for the sunflower oil to be heated in a non-stick frying pan and the falafels to be fried for 3 minutes each side. Use a pallet knife to place the falafels in the pan.
