Falafel Dry Mix

"This is my own creation after realizing that normal boxed falafel is usually not all that good and quite expensive. I've also never found a dry falafel mix recipe where you just need to add water. This recipe is easily made in large batches for future use."

directions

  • Grind Garbanzo Beans - I used a spice grinder to grind the garbanzo beans. Then used a strainer with a decent size hole to sift the mixture to get rid of any large parts. This took a long while to grind up a decent amount, but these little beans are hard and I didnt want to ruin a blender or something else.
  • Mix All dry ingredients together.
  • Add water.
  • Let sit 30 minutes.
  • Roll into balls.
  • If you prefer flatten into patties, I’ve found that you need less oil when cooked this way.
  • Fry in corn oil at 300F until golden brown. Falafel will float near the time it is done cooking.
  • Set on a paper towel to soak up any extra oil.
  • Enjoy.

  1. Great recipe! The first batch I made following the instructions was a bit too spicy for my taste but once I adjusted the Cayenne back to 1/2 tsp the result was perfect. I also used Besan flour (chickpea / garbanzo) which saved a lot of time instead of grinding dried beans.<br/>Thank you for putting up such an easy recipe for one of my favourite foods.
     
  2. Falafels: Indubitably the best of Middle Eastern foods. Reminded me when growing up Mother swore I had camel somewhere in my ancestry. HA! I am nowhere near that cool of a person.
     
  3. Loved this mix. I only used 1/2 t. cayenne, 1 c. besan flour but as written. They were so good with great flavor, light and fluffy. Served with humous, pita bread and marinated artichoke salad. Great for meatless Mon.
