I want to try to make falafel soon, but I have a question. When I tried it from a Mediterranean deli and a food truck,the falafel's aromatics are incredibly strong! Does your recipe carry that strong scent from the cumin seed? (because if it does,then I will have to adjust it a bit)

[danieldelaney]

@gaibei9 Not very strong, but try dividing it in two batches and add different amounts. See what you like more.

why can't we use canned chick peas? please respond

great video btw

[danieldelaney]

@CpShOcK123 The texture just will be off. You CAN do it, but it won't have a nice, light, crunchy, flaky texture.

Greetings,

My falafel escapades have never been fruitful. This video has inspired me to keep trying! I thank you, kind sir, for your video series. They are remarkably well done and highly enjoyable. Great job!

I tried to make falafel a year ago to great failure. I was doing it in a frying pan? My patties just fell apart, it sucked so hard. I shall try this method.

@lambokun because of the parsly, be believe, adding parsly to falafel makes it more delicious.

white sauce for your balls hihi

Why is there so much controversy even with the foods in middle east. Until 1990, 70% of Israeli Jews were from Arab lands and so they brought in their foods like falafel, causcous, tahini etc. to Israel. ISRAEL DID NOT STEAL ANYTHING. LET US BE CLEAR HERE. Middle eastern foods are so popular in Israel because of the Jews who brought the foods NOT because we stole something from Arabs.
