The ingredients needed to make Chickpea Falafels:
- Make ready 1 cup chickpeas (rinsed and drained)

Instructions to make Chickpea Falafels:
- If you use canned chickpeas, go ahead to rinse them all. If you use dried chickpeas, leave them in water overnight and rise them well before cooking.
- Place the drained chickpeas, garlic and salt in a bowl of a food processor and press until blended and chopped into fine pieces.
- Add parsley, mint, cilantro, cumin, and breadcrumbs (or panko) and press until blended well.
- It's time to form balls! I used my hands to form them. You can do it as I did, but you can also use falafel spoon which is available at an Arabic market or just 2 spoons to form balls. I was able to make 16 falafels with this recipe.
- A point is that it is better not to form a big ball because it can be broken while frying it.
- Heat the oil high (any oil can work. I used vegi oil.) It should be high heat to make brownish good-looking falafels.
- Place falafels into the oil and fry them until their surface turn into brown. I fried 4 pieces at once to avoid falafels from being broken.
- Drain fried falafels on kitchen paper and ready to serve! (Please try hummus and tahini recipes as well and eat with your falafels. Shukran!!)
