Cafe Style Falafel Platter Recipe with @foodieaddicted How to make Cafe style Falafel at home ?

Soak 2 cups of chickpeas in water for 6 to 8 hours.

Drain and rinse the soaked chickpeas, ensuring no water remains.

In an electric chopper, coarsely grind the chickpeas until they are dry and crumbly, without using a blender.

Add 3 tablespoons of besan for binding and mix well.

Add 1 onion, 4 cloves of garlic, and 1 tablespoon of dry coriander seeds to the mixture.

Season with 1 teaspoon of cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and salt to taste.

Mix in 1/2 cup of chopped parsley, ensuring even distribution.

Check the binding of the mixture; if it’s too wet, add more besan.

Shape the mixture into small patties or balls, optionally coating them with white sesame seeds for extra crunch.

Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat and fry the falafel until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side.

Remove the falafel and drain on paper towels before serving.
