Falafel

Falafel is a patty made with ground chick pea flour.It is a middle eastern food,usually served with Pita bread.Falafel become a pretty common form of street-food in Middle east. Falafel plays an important role in Israeli cuisine and considered as national dish of the country.Now a days it is pretty common in most of the restaurants in North America.This dish is very healthy dish as it is made with chickpeas,which has a high protein and essential nutrients.Falafel replaces meat for Vegetarians and has become popular among vegeterians. I tasted Falafel first time in Middle East restaurant,and I loved it.Tried falafel first time at home and it came out very well.It tastes similar to our chana dal vada..Here you go posting my version of Falafel.

  • chickpeas or chole 2cup( 160 ml cup)
  • spinach 1 cup
  • onion 1/2( smaller one)
  • coriander leaves 1/2 cup
  • jeera or cumin seeds 1 tspn
  • garlic 3(large) cloves
  • green chilli 3
  • Maida 2 tbspns
  • salt to taste.

  • Cook spinach in boiling water for 2 mins.Drain water and keep spinach aside..
  • Grind chickpeas,chopped onion,garlic,spinach,jeera,coriander leaves,salt, green chilli, into coarse  batter using very little water.( hardly 2 tbpns of water)
  • Add Maida to the batter.Make round balls(each lemon size) and flatten  the ball slightly pressing it on top.
  • Heat oil in a pan for deep fry,once it is hot slowly drop flatten balls into the oil.Fry both sides until brown.
