By - Humus-101

Ingredients

(25 falafel balls)

• 2 cups of dries chickpeas, soaked in water for 12 hours
• Crumbs from 2 slices of white bread
• 5 cloves of garlic
• 1/2 small onion
• Ginger for flavour
• 1/3 cup chopped parsley
• 1/2 cup chopped coriander
• 2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 spoon of sesame seeds
• 1 teaspoon cumin spice
• 2 tbsp suji
• fresh cream 
• Salt, pepper
• Oil for deep frying

Method:

• Wash the soaked chickpeas and put them in a food processor with the garlic, onion and spices. Grind until you get a rough moist texture. Add a little water if needed. Add suji and fresh cream as well.
• Move the mixture into a large bowl, add the rest of the ingredients and put aside, covered, for 30-60 minutes.
• Warm the oil – it should be hot, not boiling. Add the baking soda to the mixture and knead a little.
• Wet your hands and shape little balls (smaller then apricots). Fry until you get a deep brown shade. Serve hot!
