Description:

Falafel dough is a flavorful mixture made from ground chickpeas or fava beans, fresh herbs, garlic, and a variety of spices, such as cumin and coriander. The dough is typically formed into small balls or patties before being deep-fried to golden perfection. To prepare the dough, dried chickpeas are soaked overnight and then processed with onions, parsley, cilantro, and seasoning to create a coarse, slightly textured blend. A bit of baking soda and flour are added to help bind the mixture together and ensure it holds its shape during frying. After resting in the fridge to enhance the flavors, the dough is shaped and fried, resulting in crispy, crunchy falafel on the outside with a soft and flavorful interior.
