Bahan-bahan Falafel (Bahrain)

• 2 cups dried chickpeas (do not use canned)
• 1/2 medium onion, roughly chopped
• 4 garlic cloves
• 1 cup fresh parsley leaves
• 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp ground coriander
• 1/2 tsp turmeric
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 –1½ tsp salt (to taste)
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 –2 tbsp chickpea flour or all-purpose flour (optional, for binding)
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional but traditional in Gulf-style falafel)
• Oil for deep frying (about 3–4 cups vegetable or sunflower oil)
• Arabic flatbread or pita
• Sliced tomatoes
• Shredded lettuce
• Pickled cucumbers or turnips
• Tahini sauce

Cara Membuat Falafel (Bahrain)

1. Soak the chickpeas Place the dried chickpeas in a large bowl and cover with plenty of water. Soak for at least 12 hours or overnight. They will double in size. Drain well before using.
2. Prepare the falafel mixture Add the soaked chickpeas, chopped onion, garlic, parsley, and cilantro into a food processor. Pulse several times until the mixture becomes finely ground but not completely smooth—it should look like coarse wet sand.
3. Season the mixture Add cumin, coriander, turmeric, black pepper, and salt. Pulse briefly to combine.
4. Rest the mixture Transfer the mixture to a bowl, stir in the baking soda and sesame seeds. If the mixture feels too crumbly, add 1–2 tbsp chickpea flour to help bind it. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
5. Shape the falafel Scoop about 1–2 tablespoons of the mixture and form small balls or slightly flattened patties using your hands or a falafel scoop.
6. Heat the oil Heat oil in a deep pot to about 175–180°C (350°F). The oil should be deep enough for the falafel to float while frying.
7. Fry the falafel Carefully place a few falafel balls into the hot oil without overcrowding. Fry for 3–4 minutes, turning occasionally, until deep golden brown and crispy.
8. Drain Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
9. Serve Serve hot inside flatbread with lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and drizzle with tahini sauce.
