Instructions

Add the chickpeas to a bowl and cover them with 2 inches of water. Let them soak overnight or for at least 8 hours.
Add the chickpeas to a food processor and blend until fine and crumbly. Transfer to a large bowl.
Now, add the fresh herbs, onions, and garlic to the food processor. Blend until they turn into a puree. Transfer to the bowl of chickpeas.
Add the cumin, coriander, and salt, and mix thoroughly.
Shape the falafel into 1-2 inch balls and transfer to a baking sheet.
Heat about 2 inches of oil to 350°F in a large pot. Deep-fry the falafel balls in batches for 3-5 minutes each until lightly browned and crispy. Transfer to a wire rack to drain excess oil. Enjoy!
