Soak the chickpeas in water overnight. (At least 12 hours)
Peel the onion and garlic. Cut the onion into quarters.
Strain the chickpeas in a sieve.
Blend the chickpeas with the garlic, onion, coriander (fresh and ground), parsley, cumin and salt in a powerful blender until homogeneous. To avoid overloading your food processor, you can also produce the mixture in 2 - 4 parts and mix by hand afterwards.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl, flatten and place in the fridge for approx. 1 hour to infuse.
Heat the deep fryer or a pot with the oil.
Now shape the mixture with a falafel scoop and place it in the hot oil. If you don't have a portioner, you can shape the mixture with spoons or your hands. The taste remains the same 🙂
Fry the falafel for approx. 3 minutes until golden brown.
