Falafel are deep-fried balls or patties made from ground chickpeas, fava beans, or both. They are a popular street food in the Middle East and North Africa, and are often served in pita bread with hummus, tahini, vegetables, and sauces. Falafel are thought to have originated in Egypt, and were originally made with fava beans. Chickpeas became more popular as a falafel ingredient in the 19th century, when they became more widely available.
To make falafel, the chickpeas or fava beans are soaked overnight, then drained and ground into a paste. The paste is then mixed with herbs and spices, such as parsley, cilantro, cumin, and coriander. The mixture is then formed into balls or patties and deep-fried until golden brown.
