Falafel is a middle eastern deep fried snack (
Lebanese snack). It is an Arab food.
falafel are great source of
protein as they are made with kabuli chana.
Falafels are usually fried but if you are looking for healthier option you can also bake them!
Falafel bullets are made with soaked overnight and drained kabuli chana (white chick peas) , garlic (lehsun) ,onions, parsley, coriander (dhania), mint leaves (phudina) and cumin seeds (jeera) powder all ground together in a food processer. And the mixture is then taken out in a bowl and green chilli paste + baking powder are added to it and mixed together. Small balls are equally shaped out of the mixture and fried.
Further to make
Lebanese falafel stuffed in pita bread we have made a dip using curd, garlic, spring onion and sugar.
Then the leavened pita bread is lined with tongue-tickling garlic chutney, topped with a tangy curd dressing and packed with scrumptious deep-fried
Lebanese falafel ‘bullets’ made of a kabuli chana batter.
I would like to share some important tips to make the perfect
falafel recipe. 1. Mix well and our
falafel bullet mixture is ready. If making falafel for the first time and you are afraid of the falafel disintegrating, then add 1-2 tbsp of refined flour for binding. 2. You can make the
tahini dip in advance and store in the fridge.
This
Middle-Eastern falafel is quite filling, and looks and tastes exotic as well, so you can serve it with
tea or at a
party too.
Serve the
Falafel as soon as you assemble it, because it will get soggy if you let it soak in the dressing for too long.
Enjoy how to make
