Falafel is deep-fried veggie balls, and it is prepared by using veggies like chickpeas and fava beans. It is easy to prepare traditional Egyptian as well as Middle Eastern food. Usually, it is served in Pita, which works as a pocket-type wrapper for the balls.
In UAE, sometimes Falafel is served with a flatbread called a taboon. In the Middle East, it is also known as Ta’amia. It is one of the most popular side dishes in UAE, which you can easily make in your kitchen.
Ingredients:
- Mixed beans: 1 x 400 g tin
- Chickpeas : 1 x 400 g tin
- Lemon: 1 piece,
- Harissa: 1 tablespoon,
- Allspice: 1 heaped teaspoon
- Plain flour: 1 heaped tablespoon

- Parsley: 1 bunch
- Cumin powder: 3-4 tablespoons

Cooking Method
- Soak the chickpeas and beans in two bowls with plenty of normal water. Leave them overnight in water. Drain and spread them onto a clean tea towel to dry in the morning.
- Place all the beans and half of the chickpeas into a food processor and keep whizzing until the mix gets smooth; however, take care of your processor’s load.
- Now you can add parsley, coriander leaves, salt, hot pepper, garlic, cumin, and spring onions and whiz until all ingredients combine well.
- Finally, add the remaining chickpeas and fresh herbs, and pulse until they get completely chopped and well combined, but not totally mashed – the mixture needs to be clumpy with chickpeas.
- Dash in the baking powder and 4 tablespoons of flour and pulse. Add sufficient bulgur or flour so the dough can be formed into small balls and not stick to the hands.
- Put all the falafel balls into a bowl and place them in a refrigerator, covered, for 3-4 hours.
- Heat 5cm Milkio’s Ghee in a deep pan at 170C/350F temperature, then fry the falafel balls in batches and drain them on kitchen paper.
- You can make a side dip with all ingredients mixed and blended in a mixer.
- Serve Falafel balls with tahini sauce (Tahini is an oily paste made from ground sesame seeds. It is widely available in UAE grocery markets.), grilled flatbreads, and plenty of salad.
You may garnish falafel in authentic Israeli style. also: use these condiments: Harissa hot sauce, pickled turnip, and sauerkraut.
Now enjoy Falafel with your friends, family and Milkio’s ghee nutrition!
