Egyptian Falafel


Egyptian Falafel - Egypt’s favourite street food is crisp outside, fluffy inside, and delicious throughout. Easy and tasty recipe for Egyptian falafel. Enjoy the Egyptian cuisine and cooking and learn how to make traditional falafel.

These little rissoles are a staple of Egyptian food, their provenance extending way back to the Egyptian Copts. They’ve since made their way through the Middle East in various guises, most popularly in Syria, Lebanon and Jordan. The Egyptian version uses dried white broad beans, while in other areas,some recipes call for half broad beans, half dried chickpeas or even all chickpeas. Of course, each group claims their own recipe to be the best and looks askance at the others.

Cooking Time Prep time 35 mins, cook 20 mins (plus chilling)

Ingredients serves 6
200 gm (2 cups) dried chickpeas, soaked overnight in cold water
200 gm podded broad beans (about 600gm unpodded)
1 Spanish onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tsp each ground coriander, cumin and cayenne
1 cup each coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley and coriander
1 lemon, finely grated rind only
3 tsp plain flour
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
For deep-frying: vegetable oil
To serve: pickled chillies, mixed herb leaf salad (see note) and warm flat-bread
Lemon, cumin and chilli salt
2 tsp cumin seeds
2 tbsp sea salt flakes
1 lemon, finely grated rind only
½ tsp dried chilli flakes
Yoghurt-tahini sauce
55 gm (2½ tbsp) tahini
2 tbsp lemon juice
150 gm Greek-style plain yoghurt
1 garlic clove, crushed

Preparation
  1. Drain chickpeas (discard liquid) and process in a food processor with broad beans, onion, garlic, spices, herbs and rind until a fine paste forms. Stir through flour and bicarbonate of soda, season to taste and roll into walnut-sized oval balls. Place on a tray lined with baking paper and refrigerate until chilled (15 minutes).
  2. For lemon, cumin and chilli salt, dry-roast cumin seeds until fragrant (2-3 minutes). Pound with remaining ingredients in a mortar and pestle until coarsely ground, set aside.
  3. Meanwhile, for yoghurt-tahini sauce, whisk tahini and lemon juice in a bowl until smooth, add yoghurt and garlic, season to taste and set aside.
  4. Preheat oil in a deep-fryer or large deep-sided saucepan to 170C. Deep-fry falafel in batches, turning occasionally until golden and cooked through (3-5 minutes), remove with a slotted spoon, drain on absorbent paper and keep warm. Season to taste with lemon, cumin and chilli salt and serve with yoghurt-tahini sauce, pickled chillies, herb salad and flat-bread.
Note You’ll need to begin this recipe a day ahead. You could use any delicate herb for the salad; here we’ve used flat-leaf parsley, chives, mint and dill.

This recipe is from the September 2009 issue of Australian Gourmet Traveller.

Falafel and Falafel Mix

Learn how to prepare the best Falafel in your house?

In general there are two ways to make falafel:
The fast way – using boxed falafel mix. You can buy a ready mix at any Middle Eastern market. If you don't have one near your house there is no problem, as you can order it through the web. All you need to do is follow the instructions on the box. It will take only 2 minutes to prepare the mix, and five minutes to fry the balls.


From scratch – It takes more time, but it worth the work. The chickpeas need to be soaked in water overnight and afterwards put inside a food processor. More mess and work but it will taste much better than a ready mix.

About Falafel Maker?

The are two types of falefel maker, the first one is Manual Falafer Maker which is used in some restaurants and houses for homemade falafel and the other one is an Automatic Falafel Maker which is used in restaurants only.


Manual Falafel Maker is used to scoop up the falafel mixture to form the balls, wipe off the excess mixture and then press it out into a pot of heated oil - it’s just what’s needed to make the whole process a breeze! A Middle Eastern specialty made up of small, deep-fried croquettes or balls made of highly spiced, ground chickpeas (garbanzos). They are generally served inside pita bread, sandwich style, but can also be served as appetizers. A yogurt or tahini-based sauce is often served with falafel.

Automatic Falafel Maker is used by Most Falafel restaurants, and making the perfect falafel balls is a breeze. You just put falafel mix inside the machine, the machine shape the falafel mix into balls, and then throw them in deep boiling oil. Two more minutes and the falafel are hot and ready to eat.

Although falafel is made from chickpeas, it can also be made from dried fava beans, with a handful of dried chickpeas sometimes thrown in. Favas have a wonderful flavor, but if you can't find them, dried white beans, such as cannellini or navy, can be substituted.

How to prepare homemade falafel:

Generally speaking, there are two ways to make falafel:
  • The fast way: using boxed falafel mix. You can buy a ready mix at any Middle Eastern market. If you don't have one near your house there is no problem, as you can order it through the web. All you need to do is follow the instructions on the box. It will take about 2 minutes to prepare the mix, and about five minutes to fry the balls.
  • From scratch: It takes more time, but it worth the work. The chickpeas need to be soaked in water overnight and afterwards put inside a food processor. More mess and work but it will taste much better than a ready mix.
There are many falefel recipes, but I suggest to try this recipe which is common in the middle east:

Ingredients:
  • 8 oz (225g) chick peas
  • 1 onion, very finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • 1 slice of white bread, soaked in a little water
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon coriander, ground
  • 1 teaspoon cumin, ground
  • 2 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped
  • salt, to taste
  • oil for frying
Preparation:
  1. Soak the chick peas overnight.
  2. Cover with plenty of fresh water and cook for 1 - 1 1/2 hours until tender.
  3. Pound or blend the chick peas to a purée.
  4. Squeeze out the bread and add to the chick peas together with the rest of the ingredients. Knead well for a few minutes.
  5. Let the mixture rest for 1-2 hours, then roll between the palms into firm 1" balls. (Wetted hands make this easier).
  6. Heat oil (at least 1 inch deep) in a pan to about 360° F (180°C), and fry the balls, a few at a time, until nicely brown all over — about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Drain and serve hot with lemon wedges.
