Start off by blending onion & garlic. Preheat oven to 200ºC. Then, add remaining ingredients (except oil) and blend until desired consistency or until everything is well combined and a fine mix. Taste for spice and seasoning – adjust accordingly.

Now, you can make standard falafel (around 8-10) or falafel burgers (4-5).

Form into balls, place on baking sheet and press down slightly. Brush with a tiny amount of vegetable oil, and bake for 20-25 mins until hot in middle and crisp.

Alternatively, you can fry in a hot pan for about 2 minutes on both side, then finish in a hot oven for 10 minutes.  - See more
