Directions
Place chickpeas in a large bowl and pour over plenty of cold water. Leave to soak 12 + hours (even 2 days is fine).
Drain chickpeas well. Place in food processor, add remaining Falafel ingredients.
Blitz for 2 to 3 minutes on high, scraping down sides as necessary, until the chickpeas are very small grains.
Pour oil in a skillet or large pot to shallow fry. Heat on medium high to 180 - 190C.
Place a ball in a large spoon (or tongs) and slide ball in. Cook in batches for around 4 minutes, using 2 forks to roll, until deep golden and super crusty on the outside.
Drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining falafel.
Serve fresh out of the fryer. Falafel mix keeps in fridge for 3 days - make your falafels fresh.
