Chickpea falafel patties — a guaranteed, very tasty homemade recipe, even better than store-bought.

1 kg dried chickpeas

2 medium onions

2 heads of garlic

A bunch of parsley

Half a bunch of cilantro (optional)

Falafel spice mix

Salt

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Rinse the chickpeas, then soak them for 12 hours (overnight).
After soaking, drain and rinse the chickpeas well.
Roughly chop the onions, garlic, parsley and cilantro, and place them with the chickpeas in a food processor; pulse until combined.
Process until you have a fine mixture — the chickpeas should resemble fine bulgur in texture.
Just before frying, add salt, falafel spice and the baking soda to the mixture and mix well.
Form the falafel patties using a mold or by hand, and deep-fry in hot oil until cooked through and golden.
Serve the falafel immediately while hot with tarator (tahini sauce), vegetables and pickles.
