Ingredients

  • Dried Chickpeas: 1 ½ cups (about 250g). Crucial for that perfect crispy texture and fluffy interior. No canned chickpeas here!
  • Yellow Onion: ½ large, roughly chopped. Adds a foundational savory depth.
  • Garlic Cloves: 4-5 large, peeled. A must for that authentic falafel flavor.
  • Fresh Parsley: 1 cup, packed, roughly chopped. Contributes vibrant green color and fresh, peppery notes.
  • Fresh Cilantro: ½ cup, packed, roughly chopped. Adds a bright, citrusy aroma. (See "Ingredient Substitutions & Variations" if you're not a fan!)
  • Ground Cumin: 1 ½ teaspoons. Essential for the warm, earthy Middle Eastern spice profile.
  • Ground Coriander: 1 ½ teaspoons. Complements the cumin with its bright, citrusy, and slightly sweet notes.
  • Salt: 1 teaspoon, or to taste.
  • Black Pepper: ½ teaspoon, or to taste.
  • Chickpea Flour: 2 tablespoons. This is our binder, helping the falafel hold its shape without becoming too dense. It's naturally gluten-free!
  • Baking Soda: ½ teaspoon. The secret ingredient for that fluffy, light interior! It reacts with the acids in the mixture to create tiny air pockets.
  • Neutral High-Heat Oil for Frying: 4-6 cups (such as canola, vegetable, or sunflower oil). You'll need enough for deep frying to ensure even crisping.
