Ingredients

• 15 oz canned chickpeas, drained and dried
• 1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves
• 4 cloves garlic
• 1 small yellow onion, roughly chopped
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp ground coriander
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 2 cups vegetable oil for frying

Directions

1. Spread drained chickpeas on a paper towel and pat very dry for about 10 minutes so the mixture holds together better.
2. Add chickpeas, parsley, garlic, onion, cumin, coriander, and salt to a food processor and pulse until the mixture is coarse and crumbly but not a paste.
3. Stir in the flour by hand until everything just holds together, then refrigerate the mixture for 30 minutes.
4. Roll the chilled mixture into small balls or flatten into patties roughly 1.5 inches wide.
5. Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat to about 350°F, then fry falafel in batches for 3 to 4 minutes per side until deep golden brown.
6. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain and serve warm in pita with tahini, tomato, and cucumber.
