Recipe:

Step 1- Take soaked beans, chopped onion, garlic, green chilies, coriander leaves, parsley,  and cumin seeds to a grinder jar and grind to a coarse mixture. Transfer to a mixing bowl

Step 2- Add coriander powder, red chili powder, lemon juice, bread crumbs, all-purpose flour, and salt and mix it. Refrigerate the mixture for an hour or two

Step 3- Heat oil in a deep frying pan. Take out the mixture from the fridge and divide the mixture into 15-18 equal portions and make balls. Flatten them a bit using your fingers and dust them with breadcrumbs. Keep them on a plate. Drop a small portion of the mixture to check if the oil is hot enough for deep frying

Step 4-  Deep fry the balls on medium. Adjust heat to fry the balls from inside too. Too hot oil can leave the balls uncooked from inside. Fry them until golden brown and crisp. Drain them on a paper towel. Fry the rest balls in batches

Serve warm with your choice of sauce and enjoy the crispy from outside and soft from inside Falafels.
