Tip

Note :  if the mixture is still sticky, you can add a tablespoon of fresh breadcrumbs.  I use Panko breadcrumbs to coat as it gives the falafels a lovely crunchy coating. 

You can also leave out the chilli if you want to serve to the kiddies. 

Don't forget you can do this with any vegetable you have (sweet potato, potato, peas, etc.)  You can even add parmesan cheese (30g).   Just make sure you add the can of chickpeas!!

For the Gluten free option - add brown rice flour, gluten free plain flour, chickpea flour, gluten free fresh breadcrumbs.

    Very easy and lovely. I used dried chick peas that I have simmered for an hour. I used corn tortilla flour instead of breadcrumbs and it needed more salt than I added. I think garlic would be good. Thanks, will make again!

    Before cooking I found the mixture a bit moist and difficult to coat in breadcrumbs without the patties breaking up. I found that much smaller patties were easier to handle and so the recipe made 20 rather than 12.

    Once cooked the patties were firm and fine to handle and tasted great.

    I will try using slightly smaller carrots next time so the mixture should be a bit drier.

    Great! Slight variation: I added a can of four been mix instead of chickpeas plus garlic, ginger and lemon juice. I replaced PanKo breadcrumbs with combo of polenta and pecorino cheese and they were delicious!
