Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1.Prepare Chickpeas

   Soak chickpeas overnight, then boil them until they are tender. The video starts with already boiled chickpeas.

2. 2.Combine Ingredients for Paste

   In a bowl, combine the boiled chickpeas with fresh coriander, green chilies, garlic cloves, salt, coriander-cumin powder, and chopped onion.

3. 3.Blend into a Paste

   Blend all the combined ingredients into a smooth paste. Ensure there are no large chunks remaining.

4. 4.Add Besan

   Add two tablespoons of besan (chickpea flour) to the prepared paste and mix thoroughly until well combined.

5. 5.Shape the Falafel

   Take small portions of the mixture and shape them into flat, round patties, similar to kebabs.

6. 6.Heat Oil

   Heat a sufficient amount of oil in a pan for shallow frying the falafel patties.

7. 7.Fry Falafel

   Carefully place the shaped falafel patties into the hot oil. Fry them until they turn golden brown and crispy on one side, then flip and fry the other side until it's also golden brown. This should take approximately 3-4 minutes per side.

8. 8.Serve Hot

   Once fried, remove the falafel from the oil and serve them hot with green chutney. You can also serve them with hummus.
