It's much easier to deal with when flipping and moving around. Love this recipe. I also make my tahini from scratch and top it with a smokey hot sauce. I love this recipe. I use a small ice cream scoop to make 1inch flat discs.
I rrill the scoops in flour prior to flattening into discs as it is easier to handle. I chill in freezer for 3. I serve as an appetizer- cut small pita bread in quarters, spread tahini sauce on bottom inside of pita then falafel then tzatziki then finely diced red onion then close. I haven't made this yet, but rated it based on comments.
Could it be gluten free by trading wheat flour for chickpea flour? These are delicious! My useless food processor wouldn't grind the beans, so I did it the old fashioned way: by hand. I was skeptical they would turn out OK, but they were perfect.
I used only a little oil and could have used even less. The tahini sauce wasn't thinning correctly with only water, so I grabbed some soy cream and it stirred in nicely. Served with fresh cherry tomatoes, bibb lettuce, and sliced cuke, folded into homemade naan.
OK, the naan is Indian, but who cares? Thank you for the wonderful recipe. This recipe lowkey cured my depression. I have had a very rough past few days and had been looking forward to making this, and saved it for when i was very anxious and sad. I followed the recipe almost exactly, I think I only added a little less cumin, since me and spice don't really get along, and I needed closer to 6- 7 tablespoons of flour (plus hand kneading the dough in flour) to get the desired consistency. That said, this was delicious and marvelous and I will absolutely be making it again. Just the right amount of spice and flavor, wonderfully low maintenance, super delicious.
Thank you thank you thank you! I am unable to write a review because talking about cultural appropriation means my words aren't relevant to my review. This is not an Israeli street food. This is cultural appropriation.
Made this falafel recipe last night. Flavor is awesome! Texture in the middle wasn’t the accustomed granular, dryness, but more smooth like fried hummus.
Used canned chickpeas, so next time we'll try dried and soaked chickpeas. Anyway, Mr. Wonderful and I both loved. This recipe was absolutely fantastic. Follow the recipe exactly and you will have success.
The only advise I'd add to avoid any frying mishaps is remember the refrigeration and pack the balls tightly! Yield is about 2. I've always enjoyed recipes from this site, but something went terribly wrong when I tried this particular recipe. On the last batch of falafel, one of the balls exploded and sent hot oil all over my face and hands. I've never made falafel before, so perhaps that was a factor. Perhaps I had the heat too high or the falafel in the pot too long, or something else I haven't considered.
On the other hand, I've been a home chef for 2. In any case, I think people should be aware of the risks of frying certain foods. I can assure anyone that hot oil over the face is one of the most painful experiences possible. I forgot to mention that my family absolutely LOVED it.
My husband went back for seconds. My mother who used to caterer was very please with it as well. Above all, my sister who is a foodie immediately was very impressed. Piri Piri here. Can't wait to serve this at the next big family gathering. I am going to put this on my website www.

Too bad Epicurious doesn't allow you to submit pictures but below is the review(feel free to tweet me @ALittle. Touch or www. alittletouch. This recipe is awesome BUT I must say, the whole concept of not using canned chickpeas is a little misleading, slightly false and is mainly all about preference. I set out to find the perfect falafel recipe to mimic Roti Mediterranean Grill. I absolutely LOVE their falafel and found myself getting it once a week when I do go into the office when treating myself to lunch, furthermore, I prefer my falafel moist and soft in the center.
To me falafels are one of those things I am always intrigued about and want to try from different sources (the same with calamari). Every falafel I have ever tried majority of the time have a great crust but always semi dry in the center and sometimes lack flavor. So tasting a falafel from Roti was like heaven sent because it was moist, had flavor, thin crust (if any at all) and you can come back to it 1 to 3 hours later and its still soft in the middle – to me – that’s a benefit! My husband and I are pretty good cooks; we cook with love and time…we just don’t throw whatever together and call it a meal so I was determined how to duplicate the Roti falafel as much as possible and this recipe pretty much nailed it…but since I know the basics of cooking and flavor profiles…I changed things a tad bit. Like I mentioned, I wanted a MOIST falafel center so using dry chickpeas to me probably was not going to be ideal for my purposes but I’m sure it works based on the reviews.
Besides, my local Food Lion down the street didn’t have dry chickpeas and I wasn’t prepared to go to Walmart yet. Since every recipe I looked up emphasized using dry chickpeas, here is what I did differently. I took 1 can of chickpeas strained it, rinsed it off with water, and spread them out on a plate overnight. The same night, I soaked ½ cup of brown lentils in water overnight. The reason why I did this is because I think that’s what is inside the falafel in Roti’s…either that or coarsely chopped chickpeas.
I took 1 bulb of garlic cut it in half, brushed it with olive oil, wrapped it with aluminum foil, baked it at 4. Left it on the counter still wrapped in in the foil overnight. The next day, I cooked drained the water from the pot the lentils was soaking in. Added ¼ cup of chicken stock to the lentils and cooked it on high for 5 minutes.
Beetroot falafel recipe BBC Good Food. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and fry the onions until softened but not coloured. Add the cumin and cook for 1 min, then scrape the mixture into a food processor with the chickpeas, two- thirds of the grated beetroot, the breadcrumbs, egg and tahini. Whizz to a rough paste, then scrape into a bowl and stir in the remaining grated beetroot with plenty of seasoning. With damp hands, shape into about 2. Chill until ready to serve.
Heat oven to 2. 00. C/1. 80. C fan/gas 6.
Brush the falafels with a little vegetable oil and bake for 2. Alternatively, heat 2. To serve, mix the tahini with the yogurt, sugar and some seasoning, then dollop onto the flatbreads with the warm or room- temperature falafels, diced beetroot and beet leaves or salad.
