Plant based food….best in the world. ❤
Made the Egyptian one tonight. Best. Falafel. Ever!!!!
Cute
To me, the best one is the one from Israel. Is the most green and tasty of all the variations.
Mu Egyptian mother-in-law uses a mix of fresh dill, cilantro and flat-leafed Italian parsley and leeks with the green onion, cumin and dried coriander. They make them American football shaped. Everything else pretty much the same: some baking powder and a squeeze of lemon to activate it, roll in sesame seeds and serve with tahini. You have no idea how wonderful the addition of fresh dill is. I don’t know how your friend Joseph got by with only 5 ingredients.
All these look awesome! Thanks for posting!
I am Lebanese you did a great job 🎉 🇱🇧
Syrian falafel is best. Hands down. No competition..sorry.!!
ُThere are variations for Egyptian falafel but they are definitely the best.
i dont know where u guys ate falafel but lets not forget its originally Lebanese. every country has its own recipes but when u say falafel please its born in lebanon and especially the place called falafel khalifa or sahyun in beirut. thank you
Wow, it looks so yummy.
I will definitely make these soon.
Can you please share more vegetarian recipes, please 🙏🏼
I made falafel following this recepie. As i put my falafel into oil for frying, they all dispersed in the oil and became a fried powder. Don't know where did i go wrong 🙁🙁
Many vegetable oils are very unhealthy. And this is prob the way to get a megadose of it.
I’m Egyptian and I can agree the Egyptian version is the best
The best falafel is a mix between chickpeas and pealed fava beans, also cornstarch adds crunch to it.
0:55 I also like to run water over my ingredients to rid of any excess water
NEW FRIEND.
I'm Lebanese and nothing beats my Egyptian bros falafel. Shawarma on other hand is debatable.
Egyptian falafel is the best. I miss it so much, everyone in the US makes it just humus so stupid
combining them it is called 2/3 chick pees 1/3 fava peas, But falafel needs Tahini sauce not garlic, it is a tradition
I just don't want to fry them.
Thank you Billy
Split bean is the cheapest bean in Bangladesh. Check the packet, its from Bangladesh may be 😂
Even Bangladeshi besan is split pea flour.
This thing is the king of frying. its also creamy.
Billy, what a marvellous video! It's funny, excellently edited and has a great recipe! And it's vegan! I've just made it. I must inform everybody that this recipe has one disadvantage – the falafels disappear within minutes…. 🙂 Best regards from Poland.
Thanks for the video, great stuff but a few things:
1- some versions of flafel look yellow rather than green on the inside
2- our version includes a secret ingredient which is stale flat bread, this will make it much crispier and reduce some of the moisture
3- use the finger technique in the middle to increase the crispy surface area which we all love
Looks great!!! Some ideas from the Galilee:
1. Loose the food processor. Use an electric meat grinder for the whole process (beans, onions, herbs) using the fine plate. You'll get perfect consistency every time.
2. Loose the parsley, double the coriander, add half a green hot pepper. Keep the spices but add a tiny sprinkle of cinnamon.
3. Another dip you might want to try out: tahini-yogurt: only three ingredients. Greek yogurt, tahini paste and salt (no garlic and no lemon). Add some tahini paste to yogurt and mix well keep adding while mixing until you get to same consistency as regular tahini (takes about half the amount of tahini paste you use with water). Add salt to taste.
I miss the tahina in the recipe
Great recipe.
Have you tried Palestinian Falafel.
It is the king off all Falafel. There is even a version that is stuffed with meat 👍
why not put the baking powder in when you're doing the final pulse mixing in the food processor?
Too much annoying useless talking instead of just recipe
Falafel shots! I ❤️ it!
