Filafel recipe
Filafel Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 1/4 cup dried chickpeas
- 1 small onion, roughly chopped (about 1 cup)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 4 cloves of garlic
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 4-6 tablespoons flour and 1/2 cup for forming patties
- vegetable oil for frying
- Chopped tomato for garnish
- Diced onion for garnish
- Pita bread
2. Place the drained, uncooked chickpeas and the onions in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Add the parsley, cilantro, salt, cayenne pepper, garlic, curry powder and cumin. Process until blended but not pureed.
3. Sprinkle in the baking powder and 4 tablespoons of the flour, and pulse. You want to add enough flour so that the dough forms a small ball and no longer sticks to your hands. Turn into a bowl and refrigerate, covered, for several hours.
4. use a small ice cream dipper or use a falafel scoop, available in Middle-Eastern markets. Place 1/2 cup of flour on a plate and scoop some dough out and place it on the plate of flour. roll the dough around and form a ball then pat it lightly into a patty
5. Heat 1 inch of oil to 375 degrees in a deep skillet and fry 1 patty to test. Then fry about 5 at once for a few minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Stuff half a pita with falafel patty, chopped tomatoes, and onion.... you can use tahina sauce or cucumber mayo on it..
