There is an old joke in Israel that perfectly reflects the locals' attitude towards this dish. It turns out that no Israeli has ever been to space because they haven't figured out how to put falafel in a tube, and it's so delicious that you can't go anywhere without it. Falafel is a healthy street food option because it's made from chickpeas, which are known for their health benefits.

How to cook Falafel

Step 1

Grind the soaked chickpeas in a blender until smooth. Add parsley, onion, garlic, cumin, coriander, salt and pepper. Mix well. Then add the egg, flour and mix thoroughly again.

Step 2

Roll 9 balls from the resulting mass. Heat the oil in a deep fryer or saucepan to 180°C and fry the balls in it until golden brown.

Step 3

Place the finished falafel on paper towels to remove excess fat, then serve.
