      TM 5
      If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
      For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

Tip

*This is a very dry mix, do not be tempted to add any liquid as it will fall apart on frying. 

 *I serve these falafels with pita bread and tomato cucumber salad for a main meal.  

* I use Herbies smoked paprika, I found this to be the best flavoured brand.

    Omg these were delicious. I've never made falafels before, I shallow fried them in coconut oil and served them with the vegetarian chickpea and feta salad from this site (but used lentils instead of chickpeas) and I'm going to use the leftovers in a Lebanese wrap.
