Falafel

So guys this is my fave among all veg starters . Real quick and simple recipe that u can have as it is along with some ketchup , or have it as a meal along with some hummus and pita bread and even make shawarma from falafel . Just follow my recipe of pita bread or use ready pita and follow my process of shawarma just put 4 falafel in a line instead of chicken . Trust me if u have not tried falafel shawarma b4 u really must try it.
All you need to do is grind(its preferable to use a processor if u don’t have use a grinder , in both ways keep removing from the sides and keep grinding) together, 1 cup soaked white chana , 3 green chillies , 1 medium size onion cut roughly, 1 tsp zeera powder ,4-5 cloves of garlic, 1 fist of coriander , salt and a pinch of baking soda . Grind well to make a really thick paste ( don’t grind very finely , don’t even leave big chunks , it should be grainy , stop at the stage when u feel one more pulse will make it into a fine paste . And make sure the coriander has given a nice medium green colour , add more if u feel its yellowish) remove in a bowl and mix 1 tbsp chana aata .
Grease your hands with oil and make flat round kabab shape and deep fry till golden . Traditionally this is made with an icecream scoop but I find using hands more convenient . You can even sprinkle little white til while shaping. Serve hot.
