Instructions
- If you are using dried chickpeas you will need to soak them for at least 8 hours. Just place them in a bowl and cover them with water. If you use canned chickpeas make sure to drain them well.
- Which ever chickpeas you use once they are ready place them into a bowl. Roughly chop the parsley and coriander and add to the chickpeas.
Chop the onions and toss them into the bowl.
Using a food processor, chop the ingredients up until you have the texture you want. I prefer a fine Falafel but it can be more coarse it is up to you.
Tip back into a bowl and add the coriander seeds, coriander powder, cumin seeds, cumin powder, salt and pepper.
Thoroughly mix through. - If the Falafel mixture feels too damp sprinkle some flour into the mix and stir through.
Pour some oil into a saucepan and heat the oil to about 350F-375F / 175C-190C.
To test if the oil is hot enough drop a small cube of bread into the oil and if it bubbles immediately the oil is ready to use. - Shape the Falafels by taking a small piece of the mixture and squeeze it together in your hands to form a almond shaped ball.
Gently drop the balls into the hot oil 4 or 5 at a time and fry until golden brown.
Remove from the oil using a slotted spoon and place onto some kitchen paper to drain. - To serve the Falafel, chop up the tomato, onion and cucumber and mix together in a bowl.
Slice open the Pita pockets and place two Falafel in the bottom, top with the salsa and tahini sauce. Then repeat the layer once more. - Your Falafel is now ready to enjoy.
