1. Place the garbanzo beans in a large bowl, cover them with 3 inches of water, cover and let them soak for 20-24 hours (they will expand to about 5 cups). Note: If the don't soak long enough the falafel will be crumbly and fall apart. Rinse and drain.
2. Heat a small, heavy skillet over medium-high heat and dry roast the whole cumin and whole coriander seeds just until they become very fragrant. Be careful not to scorch or burn them or they will be bitter. Once fully cooled grind them in a coffee/spice grinder or mortar and pestle.
3. Place the ground spices with all the falafel ingredients in a large food processor and pulse the ingredients until well ground but but not a smooth paste, it should be chunky (over-pulsing it will cause the falafel to fall apart). Refrigerate for at least one hour (this mixture can be prepared well in advance).
4. Form the falafels into roughly the size of golf balls. You'll need to compress the mixture together firmly and carefully transfer the balls to a plate until ready to use.

(We recommend you try it with one falafel first to make sure the temperature is right.) Fry the falafel until a deep golden

WEBJun 4, 2020 · STEP THREE: Refrigerate for 20 minutes (right in the food processor is fine) and then form into golf ball-sized, compressing them …

1. Soak 3/4 cup dry chickpeas in a bowl of cold water on the counter for 10- 12 hours or up to 24 hours hours. They will swell into 2 cups. Place in a strainer, letting them drain WELL, and pat dry with a towel for extra dryness. (Wet chickpeas will be more difficult to fry.)
2. Measure 2 cups of the soaked, uncooked chickpeas and place in a food processor and pulse repeatedly along with the onion, garlic, cilantro, chili, salt spices, baking soda, and olive oil, scraping down sides, until it is well blended but still coarse like sand. Don’t overwork it- this should not be smooth, but rather quite coarse and granular. Place falafel dough in the fridge for 20 minutes.
3. Preheat oven (or toaster oven) to 400F.
4. Using damp hands, form round, golf ball-sized balls in your hands compressing tightly into balls. Teh compression here will help bind them. If they feel very wet, feel free to lightly dredge in flour if you like. (I usually don’t, even when wet!).
