Why This Recipe Works
Similar to Indian vada, these fritters are commonly called falafel by restaurant staff. They are packed with fresh cilantro and warming spices like curry powder and garam masala, making them a punchy, savory snack.
Instructions
1
Soak the peas for 4 hours, then pulse in a processor into a coarse, wet paste with the herbs, aromatics, and spices.
2
Shape the dough into small balls and flatten them slightly with your palms.
3
Fry the falafel in batches until deeply golden brown on both sides, being careful not to crowd the pan.
4
Drain on paper towels and serve hot as a snack or broken into pieces for soup.
Storage: Refrigerate for up to 3 days.
