    Default homemade falafel recipe please

    last year i made some falafels using dried chickpeas soaked overnight then without being cooked they were whizzed up with tumeric etc, then shallow fried or done in the oven.

    for the life of me i can't find the recipe again.

    does anyone have a recipe using dried chickpeas as a base please?

    thanks

    There are literally hundreds of falafel recipes but I use this one modified from Vegan With A Vengeance. I calls for tinned chickpeas but you can use soaked dried ones too.

    275g chickpeas
    1 slice wholemeal bread
    2tbsp plain flour
    1 onion
    2 cloves garlic
    1/2 tsp baking powder
    1tsp coriander
    1/4 tsp cayenne
    4tbsp parsley
    1/2 tsp salt

    I don't usually bother with the coriander and I use dried parsley. Chuck everything in a blender. Make up about 8 falafels and leave in fridge for half an hour. I usually shallow fry

    *cough* Cumin! *cough*

    Although with falafel's that taste that good, wouldn't be surprised if it's a secret recipe
