They were crispy and delicious. I also made them for a smaller group and pan fried them. Both methods were crispy and delicious. Served on a bed of lettuce with tahini sauce, tabouli, hummus and a carrot salad, flatbread on side. I am making them again next week for 30 and wondering about making the batter and freezing it, then thawing it and cooking it day of.
Do you think this will change the end result much? Recommend or not? Made these twice already this week!
I used canned chickpeas and the batter is a little more wet. I rolled them in flour before dropping them in the oil and they kept their shape nicely. They came out delicious! Next time I want to make enough to freeze. Thank you for this delish recipe! My boyfriend and I have made these several times. Still unbelievable!! We also bake instead of fry. One of our favorite recipes to make during the week! Thank you for this! Mine didnt turn green. I added the parsley and cilantro after measuring 1 cup each prior to chopping.
Should i have chopped then measurrd? They are fail proof and delicious! I make up the balls and freeze them on a cookie sheet then put into a container in the freezer, thank you for sharing! Love them with tahini sauce and in a Buddha bowl. Made it tonight. Came out better than restaurants! Just finished cooking them!! OMG they are wonderful. Had to add chick pea flour.
Added all ingredients except hot peppers. Thanks so much for this recipe!!! Just reading through the recipe and it looks like you are using raw uncooked chick peas…. Not sure if it will work as well? Oh, YUM!!! These are ah-mazing! I followed the recipe exactly but did need to add several more Tbsp of the garbanzo flour. I air-fried at for about 12 minutes, spraying lightly with olive oil.

Make sure the water covers the chickpeas by inches, as they'll triple in size. Drain and rinse the chickpeas and add them to your food processor, along with the onion, parsley, cilantro, pepper, garlic, cumin, salt, cardamom and black pepper.
Pulse the food processor several times until the mixture resembles the texture of coarse sand. Transfer the falafel mixture to a bowl and add the chickpea flour and baking soda. Stir together, then cover or add a lid and refrigerate the mixture for 30 minutes to one hour.
Use your hands, an ice cream scoop or falafel scoop to form the falafel into balls or patties. If you find the mixture is too wet, you can add another tablespoon of chickpea flour. If it's too dry and crumbly, you can add a teaspoon or two of water or lemon juice. Once the falafel are formed, you can cook them by your preferred method mentioned above.

Make sure your oil doesn't get too hot. If it does, the outside will cook too fast before the inside can warm up. The falafel should not break apart while cooking.

To customize your pita sandwich, you could easily swap another Middle Eastern sauce like tzatziki or baba ganoush for the hummus, or drizzle it with cilantro lime dressing instead of or in addition to the tahini. Try my Mediterranean chickpea salad , shawarma wraps , or stuffed zucchini next!
