FALAFEL

FALAFEL RECIPE- A very popular Middle East street food.But all the ingredients used in this recipe are in Indian kitchen This is a very good snack and can be a good starter too.Looks and tastes like Mutton Kola.

First I found this recipe here. Then googled and learnt about it.

As said in the above site, it is like our masala vada.But we use chick peas instead of gram dhal.In vada we use chopped veggies. But in this recipe every veggie is ground.So it may taste like Mutton Kola.Crunchy outside and soft inside.Saving this recipe.

Ginger	2 inch
Mint Leaves	5 or 6

Garam Masala	1/2 tsp

Method:

1.Soak Chick Peas Overnight.Drain water completely
2.First grind all ingredients except Chick Peas,Salt and Oil and then add Chick Peas batch by batch.
