EASY VEGAN FALAFEL RECIPE
We are huge fans of Falafel Balls / patties at home and they are regular feature on our dinner menu. I love to serve falafels in my wraps, loaded with salad, hummus and sometimes boom boom sauce. My son hates hummus, so he usually loves a drizzle of tomato ketchup in his wraps. Even if I can’t make it, my family makes sure to add store-bought classic falafels to the weekly menu shopping. But let me tell you - nothing can be as delicious as homemade falafels, isn’t it! I learned to make this vegan Falafels recipe from my Sudanese friend who makes the best falafel ever. She got me a box of falafels ( also known as Tamiya in Sudan ) one day after the school run and they were simply melting. Crispy on the outside, soft, and melting on the inside. Since then, I have been asking her for this recipe! Soon, I will be working on Step by Step method of imagery to justify these irresistible middle eastern balls. So here’s the update - I sent these pictures to my FALAFEL EXPERT friend and she said - these falafels look better than hers !! I had never tasted a falafel so light, crispy and delicious. She is so particular about her falafel recipe, that she send me notes on do’s and don’ts on how to make it.

TIPS TO MAKE DELICIOUS VEGAN FALAFELS
Do not use Canned Chickpeas Soak Dried Chickpeas for at least 8 hours or overnight. Process the Chickpeas until smooth and not coarse. Add Baking Powder just before frying. Do not add while processing in the food processor. Dill Leaves and Parsley add great flavors to our quick & easy falafels. If you don’t have dill leaves, simply leave it out. Using Cilantro ( Coriander leaves ) is optional in your falafel. I do love it! I have tried making Falafels with cooked Chickpeas and found them a little soft. But they are surely delicious too!

CAN I FREEZE THE FALAFELS?
Once you make a smooth paste out of chickpeas and remaining ingredients, store them in freezer safe bag and freeze it. Thaw them before use and add the baking powder. Shape the balls and Air fry the falafel ball or Deep fry it or oven bake the falafel.
