اسلام عليكم،

Is it possible to make it from tinned chickpeas/fava beans?

[cookingtheeasyway]

@Mubin1983 , Some people make it with canned chickpeas , but the original recipe calls for dry, soaked chickpeas/ fava beans or the combination of both. the beans will cook when fried. I think using the canned beans would add a lot of moisture to the mix, which is not a good thing to have. good luck.

@bluehaven10 Actually, Syrian/Lebanese falafel usually use chickpeas, while Egyptian falafel usually use fava beans. I actually make mine with an equal mixture of both, and in my opinion the mix tastes best as you don't get one kind of beans overpowering the taste.

@bluehaven10 , of course it is delicious with fava beans too or the mix of both beans...people have different preferences i guess and that what makes cooking innovative and interesting.. variety is good!

falafel tastes so much better when you use fava beans and not chickpeas and also leek!
