- Prepare about 1 inch (3 cm) of hot oil for frying the falafel. One hot, fry the the falafel in batches. Fry the first side until golden brown (it usually takes 2-3 minutes for me but depends on how how you have your oil).
- When the first side is golden brown, turn over with tongs and fry the other side.
- Remove finished falafel onto a plate or rack lined with paper towels. Fry the rest of the falafel until all are finished.
