Soak chickpeas overnight.

Drain and rinse the soaked chickpeas.

Add cumin, parsley, coriander, garlic, Himalayan salt, cayenne pepper, and a quarter of a red onion to the food processor.

If you want, add some baking soda.

Blend the mixture in the food processor until combined; if no food processor, use a potato masher.

Add a little water to achieve a texture more like a dumpling than a frittata.

Roll the mixture into balls, similar to ping pong balls but a little flatter.

Prepare a baking tray with baking paper and brush with oil.

Space the falafel balls on the tray and brush the tops with oil.

Bake for 20 minutes, turning once or twice.
