FAQs

Traditional falafel is typically made from ground chickpeas, mixed with herbs, spices and other ingredients like parsley, garlic and onion. The mixture is generally shaped into small patties or balls and then deep-fried or baked. 

Flour is generally used to hold falafel together. Some other recipes may also use bread crumbs or egg as a binding ingredient. It’s important to not add too much to avoid dry, crumbly falafel while too little can cause the mixture to fall apart during cooking. 

If your falafel is falling apart when you fry it, then your mixture may be too wet. Add some extra flour to help balance out the wetness of the chickpeas. If your mixture doesn’t look too wet then it may be too dry. If you’ve added too much flour then the balls will struggle to stay together and instead fall apart when frying.
