Instructions

1. Drain the soaked chickpeas and add them to a food processor.
2. Add chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, cilantro, cumin, coriander, baking powder, salt, and black pepper to the food processor.
3. Process the mixture until it forms a coarse paste, scraping down the sides as needed.
4. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the flour until well combined.
5. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour.
6. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 180 degrees Celsius.
7. Shape the chickpea mixture into small balls or patties using your hands.
8. Carefully drop the falafel into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
9. Remove the falafel with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
10. Serve warm with pita bread, salad, or tahini sauce.
