Falafel help please

[clairethewitch70]

I usually use the Granose mix but last time all I could get was Bosh which were awful and gritty. Decided now that I will make my own from scratch.

Looking for an easy recipe, that can be authentic or not. Something for picky eaters. I use the falafels in a wrap with hummus and salad, if that helps.

Please share your favourite recipes

The Al Fez (I think that's the correct spelling) is good.

My dc like falafel quite sweet, so I use this recipe now realfood.tesco.com/recipes/sweet-potato-falafel-with-tomato-couscous.html

I use the Al Fez mix but years ago when I made my own I used the Nigel Slater recipe, it came out well as I recall. Can be found part way down here or in various other places online.

Thanks, I will check out that mix and the recipes.

I use the Ottolgenghi recipe from Jerusalem

I've also tried them with a mix of fava beans (dried broad beans) and chickpeas - I prefer the chickpeas only, but in case you wanted to give them a go:

I think falafel are really lovely with tahini sauce - in case you wanted to try, here's a good recipe

I find this one quite successful but use gram flour instead of plain, and bake in the oven instead of air fry.

I use this recipe regularly but make into balls rather than burgers

This is my favourite. So much nicer than packet mixes or ready made

This is the one I use. It’s never failed, every other one I’ve tried the felafels have fallen apart while frying.

I've used the Nadiya Hussein recipe and just left out the egg. The recent works perfectly well without. I also used normal flour instead of chickpea.

It was a hit with all the family

This isn't a recipe but I buy Ramona's Kitchen falafel and they're so so good. A frozen 500g bag for only £3.25.

But dried chickpeas and commit the time to preparing them. Tinned or jarred just don't work.
