Tailored to Taste
As my family is vegetarian, falafels are a delicious way of incorporating some vegetarian protein into their meals. The downside is the deep frying that goes with it. This recipe makes life really easy, the texture is a little different but they make really tasty chickpea morsels that work well with the tahini and other typical accompaniments in a pitta sandwich for my kids - and in lettuce wraps for me!
Ingredients
- 1 pack of The Spice Tailor Punjabi Chickpea Masala (chickpeas included)
- 50g panko breadcrumbs
- 15g coriander, finely chopped
- 20g flat parsley, finely chopped
- 2-3 tbs. vegetable oil for cooking
- 2 tbs Tahini
- 1 tbs flour
- 1 egg, whisked - or aquafava (to keep it vegan)
- 1 tbs lemon juice or to taste
Garnishes: Pickles, tomatoes, flat breads or pitta
Method
- Heat the chickpeas and the sauce from the two pouches in a non-stick frying pan and reduce to a dry texture. Save the spices for a different cook or add them in for more flavour (but remove them before the next stages). Leave to cool.
- Mix the tahini with the lemon juice, 3 tbs boiled water and a little of the parsley. Season to taste.
- Once cool, mash the chickpeas mixture, add half the breadcrumbs and the chopped herbs. Mix well, form into balls and flatten slightly, resembling falafels.
- Dip into the flour, then straight into the egg or aquafava and roll in the extra panko breadcrumbs.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the falafels until golden brown. Turning halfway.
- Serve with the tahini sauce and garnishes if you like.
