Hi friends!
Recently I tried to make falafel!
Growing up in Singapore, my staples were chicken rice, fishball kuaytiao soup, roti prata, milo and the like. I've only heard of falafel in my teen years (through Tumblr, no less) and only recently tried it as an adult. Slow but better late than never.
I followed this video! This guy delivers his instructions in a very rhythmic, fun and humorous manner. Love it!
I first soaked my dried chickpeas in the fridge overnight, before blending them with garlic, red chilli flakes, white pepper, some water, baking soda and some flour. I didn't have ingredients like cumin at hand.
Then I put the mixture in the fridge to allow it to chill and stick together more so I can shape them more easily after.
Off into the pan they go.
Aren't they cute? I made them into patties like the video suggested because they're easier to stack!
It can't beat the deep fried falafel served with tahini too, but I enjoy it and will make more with different variations like chopped carrots etc.
