INGREDIENTS:
2 cups dried chickpeas (about 1/3 pound)
4 scallions (white and green parts), cleaned and minced
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
1 tablespoon fresh mint, coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon minced hot green chili (like jalapeno)
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3 tablespoons warm water
Light olive oil for deep-frying
PREPARATION:
Place dried chickpeas in a bowl and cover with cold water. Soak for at least
12 hours and up to 15 hours. When ready to cook, drain the chickpeas and
place them in a food processor. Add scallions, garlic, parsley, mint, chili,
salt, cumin, and coriander. Mix baking with the 3 tablespoons warm water
and add mixture to food processor. Process until smooth. Transfer mixture
into a small bowl, cover, and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Pour the oil to
a depth of 2 inches in a heavy saucepan or wok. Heat to 375 degrees F. When
falafel mixture is chilled, roll into 16 Ping-Pong-ball-sized balls. Slip
a few at a time into the hot oil, making sure they don't stick to the bottom.
Cook, turning, for about 6 minutes, or until the balls are a dark, even brown
on all sides. Remove with slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve
either in sandwiches or as a falafel first course.
Serve with a dolyp of yogurt sauce **.
