How to make falafels
Being a little awed after seeing the Dawgs great cooking threads I am a little self-conscious of my own very amateur efforts, but here goes.

I enjoy these little fried balls, great wrapped in a tortilla or Pita with Hummus and tabbouleh.

You will need
One cup of cooked Chickpeas or Garbanzo beans.
One cup of Chopped parsley
One Chopped onion
a few cloves of chopped Garlic
2 Table spoons Flour to bind it all together.
A couple of Tsp of Cummin and the same of ground coriander, I also like to add some fresh coriander.
Pepper & salt
Villa have the Garbanzo beans, dry and canned and I get my fresh Parsley from Makro although Villa will have that at 3 x the price.
You will need to soak beans over nite and cook for 1 hrs unless they are canned.



Having collected all the ingredients, put them in a pot or food processor and mash it all up, I had to use a mortar and Pestle as my expensive Bosh FP has gone tits up.



Having it all mashed into a nice thick paste, roll them into balls, not too big just a nice mouth full.



Heat enough oil to at least half cover them, oil should be around 200c but as my little darlings seem to have lost my infrared temperature gauge I guessed at the temperature. If anything its a little hot.




Get them nice and brown, about 5 mins at this temperature, they may look over cooked but they aren't, roll em around a bit and drain.



Ready to eat, I like to give them a good drain so I give them 5 mins on paper towels in a warm convection oven.



I like to serve them wrapped in Tortillas or Pita with Hummus and some greens or Tabbouleh.
Easy to make because they don't fall apart when frying and if desired you can add other spices, chilli flakes etc.

Looks good Peter.
I was in Nong Khai at the Friendship Bridge Farang Food Store yesterday.

Frozen flour tortillas: 220 baht for 10. BG posted a tortilla recipe a few weeks ago -- have to dig it up.

220 for 10, someone is trying to get rich quickly, the last lot I brought 2 weeks ago at Villa were 65 Bt for 10.
We need to start our own Tortilla factory Tex, many Mexicans living around where you are? or will we have to import some?

PP,

Great job!!!! I've always felt the same as you...a bit ashamed of my poor humble cooking skills, but that looked damn good.

I would have to say that would make a really nice beer snack as well!

Yes excellent beer snack CS,

Minime, not seen Hummus for sale here but you can buy the ingrediants, again the old chick peas, Tahini and lemon juice , Olive oil. I belive I put Hummus recipe up here not long ago, or maybe I forgot.

I love Mid Eastern, Greek & Mediterranean food, there were quite a few Greek restaurants in Melbourne, we used to go to one particular one every week and some of the Balkan restaurants in Sydney fabulous food.

Cheers PP, I spent a year in Israel and every Tuesday night we would go for falafel. The store holders would throw the falafel balls as high as they could and catch them in the pitta bread.
