These falafels are made with chickpeas, onion, garlic, spices and then fried in coconut oil.
Ingredients:
175 g chickpeas
100 g yellow onion
6 g of garlic
1 handful of fresh coriander or 1/2 tsp coriander powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp potato flour
1 tsp Himalayan salt
1 tsp paprika powder
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp cardamom
1/2 tsp chili powder or cayenne
5 - 8 tbsp of Graham flour (chickpea flour)
How to:
Add everything, except the flour, into your food processer and mix until a smooth paste.
Add the flour bit by bit until a firm dough.
Add about 1 tbsp of coconut oil into a frying pan. I like using my small iron pan.
Make small balls of dough, and fry them. Let it firm a nice crust on both sides. Then let cool on a before serving them.
It`s perfect making a whole batch of these if you have the time. Falafels can go in the freezer, or you can keep some in an airtight container for some days. Anytime you need a spicy, fried treat - these are delicious!
Enjoy your food, and enjoy your day.
