Step-by-Step Instructions
- Soak 1 cup of dried chickpeas in a large bowl of water for 24 hours.
- Drain the soaked chickpeas and add to a food processor with onion, parsley, cilantro, salt, garlic, cumin, and coriander. Pulse until grainy.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl and mix in chickpea flour and baking powder until well combined.
- Scoop out heaping tablespoons of the mixture and roll into balls; flatten slightly. Place on a parchment-lined tray.
- Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours to firm up the falafel balls.
- Heat enough vegetable oil in a deep skillet until hot.
- Fry the falafel balls in batches for 30-60 seconds on each side until golden brown.
- Remove and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil before serving.

Notes
For best results, use dried chickpeas. Allow sufficient soaking and chilling time for crispy falafel.
