Appreciate the suggestion but never heard of either and if it isn't available in a supermarket within five miles of my house and has to come from an overpriced specialty food store on the other side of town it just isn't a sustainable idea as a regular food. I will though look into it. Thanks.
Interesting recipe and the spices are somewhat different. The one I used had cardamon and coriander with turmeric optional. Thanks. Fun to experiment.
I like the wholewheat floor for the pita. Probably wait a while before trying that.
I had never tasted falafel till today but I liked it. Most I baked into patties and froze but for supper I made balls and deep fried in grape seed oil. I have to say the taste is different but I certainly liked it.
A bit of O/T why I was experimenting. Because of a stroke the doctor made me cut...
Now you tell me after I did it in batches in a mini food processor.::smile: Will knownext time thank you for the advice. Is that done with a plate with 3/16" holes?
They were kept in the refrigerator while soaking. I was thinking maybe old also. I may just dump these and buy a different brand from a different store.
Does any one have a comment on my question about using a meat grinder instead of a food processor?
Thanks all for the replies so far.
Thank you for the reply but no I haven't cooked them. Every recipe I have read says to process them after soaking. You cook after you have made the balls or patties. Most articles also say using dried or fresh beans is much better then canned. Am I misreading the instructions below?
First time maker of falafel and I have a couple of questions. The garbanzo beans (chickpeas) I am soaking seems to have taken a long time to absorb any water. I've soaked them for 36 hours now and they have increased by less then double in size. No real change the first day. Is that normal?
I...
