Thanks...I appreciate that! Happy New Year to you.

[ChefKamal1]

You are welcome, Sahtain (double health). I hope you will enjoy the book and the rest of the recipes. Happy New Year.

[ChefKamal1]

You are welcome. Traditionally, skinless fava beans are combined with the garbanzos...but they vary so much from market to market that I decided to leave them out. The flavor and texture is still crunchy and delicious. I also love falafel sandwiches...it is one of my favorites.

Sahtain!

[ChefKamal1]

I am glad you are enjoying the recipe...I think they are delicious with tzatziki sauce (we call that laban bi kyhar) they are also delicious with tahini sauce...sahtain!

[ChefKamal1]

Thanks...the cumin powder sounds good...be careful not to add too much...the flavor as you probably already know develops. Sahtain!

Greetings,

I really am surprised. I have never had that problem. One thing for sure is that you really do not want to boil the beans...it introduces too much moisture into the mix. Please...try it again and soak the dry beans over night. The next day follow the recipe instructions...making sure that all the ingredients are free of any excess moisture. You really should have no problem.

Best regards,

Kamal

Chef thank you for the great falafel recipe. Made it the other night for the family. I have never made falafel from scratch but it was easy and delicious (no more box mix for me). The family loved it. My 9 year old son wanted it for dinner the next night as well. I will be ordering your cookbook soon, it's all ready in my Amazon shopping cart.

I'm making your falafel recipe for the third time this morning. It's turned out delicious each time. I like to eat them with tzatziki sauce. Thanks.
