Instructions

To make Falafel salad wash and soak chickpeas overnight or for 6-7 hours.
Chop ½ cup parsley, ¼ cup coriander, and 2 jalapenos. When you are chopping the jalapenos discard the seeds of jalapenos then chop them to pieces.
Keep the chopped vegetables and herbs in three separate bowls.
To make falafel, place drained soaked chickpeas with chopped parsley, coriander, and jalapenos in the food processor.
Then sprinkle some salt, 1 teaspoon coriander powder, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon cumin powder, 2 tablespoon gram flour, and ½ teaspoon red chili flakes.
Cover and process at high speed (in pulse function) to make a coarse mixture.
The texture of the mixture should be coarse after grinding.
Take a handful of the mixture and shape the mixture into balls or any shape of your choice.
Heat oil in a deep frying pan. When the oil reaches the smoke point carefully drop falafel balls in the hot oil. Deep fry them for 3-4 minutes and then take them out.
You can air fry them if you wish to.
In a large bowl place lettuce, sliced cucumber, sliced tomatoes, olives, and falafel balls. Then spread some Tahini on top with parsley, a sprig of mint leaves, parmesan, and toasted pine nuts.
