Chef’s Note

• Always use soaked dried chickpeas—never canned or boiled—to achieve the authentic texture and prevent the mixture from turning mushy.
• Grind coarsely to preserve texture, and use besan as needed for binding.

Tips & Tricks

• Test fry one small patty first. If it breaks, add a little more besan to the mix.
• Fry over medium-low heat so the falafel cooks thoroughly through the center without burning outside.
