🥘 Ingredients

• garbanzo beans 1 can
• onion 1 small
• garlic 2 cloves
• cilantro 1 ½ Tbsps
• parsley 1 tsp
• cumin 2 tsp
• turmeric 0.12 tsp
• baking powder ½ tsp

• salt
• pepper
• oil

1. 1

   Mash the garbanzo beans in a large bowl . Stir in the onion , garlic , cilantro , parsley , cumin , turmeric , baking powder , bread crumbs , salt and pepper . Do not be afraid to use your hands. Shape the mixture into 1-1/2 inch balls; you should get 18 to 24. If the mixture does not hold together, add a little water.
2. 2

   Heat the oil in a deep fryer to 375°F (190°C). Carefully drop the balls into the hot oil, and fry until brown. If you do not have a deep fryer, heat the oil in a heavy deep skillet over medium-high heat. You may need to adjust the heat slightly after the first couple of falafels, and be sure to turn frequently so they brown evenly.
