Method
Place the dry chickpeas in a big bowl and cover it with 2 cups -3 cups of water. Let them soak overnight. Drain the water and rinse them. Place them in a chopper or a food processor. Add the onion and the cloves of garlic. Add a big handful of fresh coriander, a pinch of salt, pepper and cayenne pepper. Add 3 teaspoons of cumin, turmeric and add the lemon juice. Add 3 tablespoons of olive oil and 5 of flour. Mix it on medium speed for about a minute. It should make a paste like misture, you should see some granules and it should not be runny. If needed add more olive oil or flour depending on the result of the misture.
Place your falafel mix in the fridge for at least 1h or 2h.
Then add the sunflower oil into a saucepan or a fryer. Heat it and when hot reduce the temperature to medium. Make little balls of around 1 tablespoon of the mix with your hands and fry it for some minutes. You want them golden brown but not dark brown burned ! :)
Take them out with a slotted spoon and let them cool on some kitchen paper towels.
Serve with salad, pita bread or rice.
And dip them into fresh hummus !
yummmm !
