  • 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.
