4 2 teaspoons ground cumin
5 2 teaspoons ground coriander
6 3 tablespoons chopped herbs such as coriander or parsley (optional)
7 46- tablespoons flour
8 Salt

Method
1 Place the chick peas in a bowl with the onion, garlic, cumin, ground coriander,

mixture begins to stick together. Add the chopped coriander.
2 Take walnut-sized portions and shape them into small, flat circles that are 1cm
thick. Roll the falafel in the flour so they are well-coated and chill for 1530-
minutes. Heat about 2.3cm oil in a frying pan. When hot, add a few falafels and
cook over a medium heat for about 56- minutes, turning frequently. Drain on
kitchen paper.
