Falafel

[katyk]

Ok I tried to make the falafels a couple of times this week. They're supposed to be really easy to make. But when I put one in the oil, it dissolves! To nothing. I'm clearly doing something very wrong.

Yesterday we end up grilling them instead, it took about 45 mins but they were edible. I'll keep trying

Yeah they're lush! We usually have a packed of the dried mix in our cupboard as a nice standby and we have it with pitta bread and salad and lots of chilli sauce (made from ketchup + chilli) and garlic mayo. Yum!

Tried again and they're still dissolving. But the result was quite tasty spread on bread for my tea

(Could it be because I'm using sainsbury's tinned chickpeas (drained.) Somehow they must still be more watery than the dried and soaked over night version. Is all I can think )

You can always add a little chickpea flour to bind the mix. If gluten isn't a problem I think breadcrumbs would work too.
