salaamwalekum satsriyakaal; welcome back to another session with your vahchef at vahrehvah.com. we all love our masala vada today we're going to make the middle eastern masala vada that is falafel you know we take chana dal but they take whole chana dal that is the chickpeas you know soak this chickpeas overnight; drain out the water and just use very little water to make this falafel you know little water is requiredbecause just like the masala vada you want nice binding. in this add choppedcoriander and they add lot of parsley
since i don't have a fresh parsley i'm going to use the dry parsley, in thisadd cumin powder you know we love to use cinnamon in our masala vada and red chilli whole but here we're going to use the cumin, some pepper powder and some paprika or even red chilli powder should be fine add whole garlic chopped garlic onionsome salt now we're going to put this in a blender and make into a coarse paste look at this, this has to be ground coarsely, we do not make it to fine paste and for the best results use a food processor
rather than just a regular blender likewhat i did; but even in a blender you can do it that is the reason why i'm not using my food processor i did it in the blender and in this add pinch of baking powder, sometimes you can mess up this mixture and if your falafel is getting crumbled in theoil that's when you can use a little bit of chickpea flour but look at this if i make a small dumpling it should stick if it is not sticking then you may need to add you know little bit of water and also a little bit of chickpea flour that can help it bind easy
so just to show you i'm just adding some chickpea flour and also very little water do not add too much just sufficient forthis chickpea flour, that should be good enough in this you can also add some lemon juice if youwant to add more of coriander leaves and parsley you can definitely add more ofcoriander leaf and parsley but here for me this is good enough for my taste when you make this falafel do not pressit hard you know while we make masala vada we are used to making them flat by pressing it hard, but these falafels have to be lot lighter
that is the reason we added baking powder so do not press it hard and just drop in oil you know if you are scared of puttingthings in hot oil you can always use the wire mesh to do that just you know make them round or flat whatever shape you want if these are breaking you can add alittle bit of all-purpose flour that is maida and then nothing can break thisbecause i'm very easy to make and some people also add egg in the recipe i don't know why they do but they do
now i'm going to add all of them unlikeour masala vadas which are crispy in and out, these falafels have to be softinside and slightly crispy on the outside you know nothing like eatingthis falafel in pita bread along with some salad vegetables and tahini sauce mmm mmm pour the tahini sauce just before you have them because you want the falafel to be nice and crunchy wow with any salad you can enjoy thisfalafel. in another session i'm going to show you how to make this pita bread buttoday make this falafel and even put it on a nice phulka along with little bit ofsalads and tahini sauce and enjoy it.
