  • Add the sauteed onion-garlic mixture to the above drained chickpeas and pulse in ur food processor or blender till it is all well combined. Do not add too much of water, 1 or 2 tbls will help if you are using a blender. I have Kitchen Aid and i was able to make it to a rough paste - used the pulse function.
  • Now put the above in a bowl, then add salt, red chilly powder, chana masala and cilantro and combine well.
  • Now refrigerate the above mixture for 3-4 hours, to let the flavors combine well.
To fry the falafels:

  • Heat the oil, but make sure the oil does not smoke.
  • Make small falafel balls, and deep fry this in medium flame.
Note: Do make the falafel balls small, resist to make them big, trust me the small ones fry evenly and taste better. Also, fry them in medium flame, this ensures the inside gets cooked well.
