About this dish

Chickpea falafel with onion, garlic, parsley, cumin and coriander, fried until crisp. Falafel is street food across the Middle East, and the traditional version starts from soaked dried chickpeas rather than canned ones. Canned chickpeas and a little flour make this version quicker and help the mixture hold together. An air fryer can replace deep frying.
