No Fry Falafel and Hummus
I always felt guilty while having fried Falafel with super healthy Hummus. Not any more. This is no fry version of falafel made on appam pan.
Ingredients:
To make falafel
1 cup boiled chickpeas
1/2 onion finely chopped
2 cloves garlic finely chopped
2 green chillies finely chopped
Coriander leaves
Salt
1/2 tsp Roasted cumin seeds powder
Black pepper
Some lemon juice
2 to 2.5 tbs Bread crumbs (or Maida/Plain Flour)
1 to 2 tbs water
Oil
To make hummus
1 cup boiled chickpeas with some ginger
1.5 tbs Tahini paste (Recipe of Tahini paste is in description)
1 finely chopped green chilli
2 cloves garlic finely chopped
1 tbs curd
Some chilli flakes
1/2 lemon juice
4 tbs water used for boiling chickpeas
1 tbs olive oil (or 1/2 tsp sesame oil)
Salt
Mix salad - olive, tomato, cucumber, coriander stems - do not add salt
Roasted cumin seeds powder
Chilli flakes
Coriander leaves
Olives
Olive oil
Method:
Take 1 cup boiled chole (chickpeas) in a mixie
Add 1/2 finely chopped onion, 2 cloves finely chopped garlic and 2 green chillies finely chopped
Add salt, 1/2 tsp roasted jeera powder and some black pepper
add 1/2 lemon juice, it will ensure coriander leaves stay green
2 tbs Bread crumb to be added; or you can use Maida too
add 1 to 2 tbs water
run mixie on pulse mode as we don’t want paste
check consistentcy, if you feel sticky or watery then add 1/2 tbs bread crumbs
and grind again
Make small roundels to make falafel
Keep falafel balls in freezer for 5-10 minutes
Cook falafel in appam pan
3-4 tsp oil good enough for 12 falafel balls
Keep flame at slow to medium flame
Cook on all sides
Falafel is ready

Some chilli flakes
