Is it possible to make Falafel at home?

Question

i have no fryer soo is it still possible to make it at home?

Answer 1

I don't know, but my mother makes falafel using fryer, I think

you need a fryer, buy one or borrow one.

Answer 2

I make them all the time, I ama former chef and use fresh and canned beans a mix for flavour and matzo meal or breadcrumbs to coat and cook mine in a non-stick skillet like little falafel patties.

This make them crispy with out the mess of the fryer oil and you can keep the fat down and load up your pita with the sauce and veg with more food.

I use tinned chickpeas, I also buy a brand here in Canada with fava beans with the chickpea, fresh peas or fava beans, process it with garlic, tahini - sesame paste, lemon juice a 1/2 cup of falafel mix and some warm water, then when I go to cook them I make the patties and them dip them in the crumbs and cook them in a lightly oiled pan, I like mine crsipy so I cook them well, then in the pita with the tomato, onions, lettuce and cabbage, tahini garlic sauce and I am a chili head so either harissa or a good brand of hot sauce, even some hot greek or jalapeno peppers.

Answer 3

Yes you can just buy one of those packs from the shop and am pretty sure you can put them in the oven if you have one

Answer 5

Yes, just put your oil into a fry pan or even a pot, and you can get falafel mix at any grocery store ... but you will have to ask where, because different stores keep it in different places.

Answer 6
