Instructions
- How to soak chickpea: Take 1/2 a cup of chickpea. Cover them in plenty of water and add a pinch of baking soda to help soften them as they soak. Keep them overnight. The chickpeas will at least double in size as they soak. Add soaked chickpea, fresh coriander, garlic, onion, beetroot, salt, red chili, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, and chickpea flour in a food processor. https://amzn.to/3uilHxj
- Pulse a little bit at a time until the mixture is ground. You’ll know it’s ready when the texture is more like a coarse meal. Don't make a paste of the mix, by continually running the blender.
- Shape the falafel into small balls and refrigerate for 20 minutes. OrTransfer the falafel mixture to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight. The chilled mixture will hold together better, making it easier to form the falafel patties.
- The next step is to place the shaped falafels in your air fryer and cook for 20 minutes at 180 *. Or you can deep fry the shaped falafels if you desire. Serve them hot with different dips and fresh salad in pita bread pockets. https://amzn.to/3oQV8yg It is an absolutely satisfying, delicious meal choice. Enjoy!
