We love falafel, and I found a recipe which doesn’t drown them in hot oil.
I used 200g chickpeas, which is about 3/4 of the original recipe, with the original amount of spices (except the garlic, less is better) and got 10 falafel. Really really good falafel.
I’ll use cooked chickpeas next time to see if the dish is more digestible then.
