FALAFEL & HUMMUS | फलाफल और हमस
Tuesday, May 26, 2020
This recipe is made with simple every day ingredients we all have in our Kitchen and very easy to make.
Important Points:
- Tahini paste can be easily made at home. I have shared the recipe on vidzKitchen here: Chickpeas Sandwich. Dry roast 1/4th cup of Sesame seeds and grind to a smooth paste using 2-3 tbsp of Olive oil.
- When you are ready to deep fry the Falafels, first make only 1 ball/patty and deep fry to check if it is not breaking. If it does break, add 1-2 tbsp of Chickpea flour or bread crumbs to the falafel batter and make balls.
- Always deep fry Falafels on medium flame. Else they will not be cooked from inside and will become darker on the outer side.
- You can make wraps out of these Falafels and Hummus or stuff inside a Pita bread to make it a complete meal.
