I am an Arab i am eating Falafel almost every day, i can tell from the shape and final result it is very good and professional, when you see the falafel greeny from inside and browny and crispy from outside and not fragile that an excellent falafel .

[@zedthree1230]

Ok .👍

[@CamSiv996]

At first I thought Falafel looked like some kind of meatball. Until later, it's actually a deep fried veggie ball made of Chickpea or certain beans.

Hello, for those who say their falafel fell apart while frying, add a 4 tablespoons of flour to the mixture, the flour helps the falafel held its shape. (It could be less or more than 4 depending on your anount) I also made it with canned chickpeas it turned out great. Thank you for the video! Subscribed :)

Why my filafil are uncooked from inside why it’s being tht way ?

[@adnankazi2215]

hebah albahar can you suggest me why is it so ?

[@gift347]

Hmm not sure, maybe the oil is too hot? Or the size of the falafel too big. Mine were soft in the inside, the way I see it is the ingredients can be eaten fresh, so it's enough if it's just crispy from the outside and soft in the inside. It doesnt really need to be cooked. I hope this helps

My personal recipe is not much different from yours (except for the addition of olive oil to the chick peas and substituting red pepper flakes for paprika). I tried to deep fry mine after letting the mixture chill and as soon as they hit the oil they disintegrated. How do you keep yours whole while frying?

[@dmb555]

I liked your recipe because I could see that the inside of the falafel still had some tiny free holes. In other videos, I noticed the inside would become too "crowded". The falafels I've eaten always had this lighter look on the inside. Is this achievable because of the baking soda or it depends of which kind of flour you use? I've seen people using chickpea flour and all-purpose flour. But I get the feeling that using too thin flours will make the inside of the falafel too "full". You used breadcrumbs, so I believe we could also use panko flour. They have bigger grains, so I'm guessing that's the secret for a falafel to look like yours. Does that make sense? Or is it really because of baking soda and I can just use any kind of flour?
