Falafel is very similar to masal vadai that we make in south India. So technically it cannot be that hard to make falafel having made vadai's a zillion times, right
For the Falafel. Serve falafel with yogurt sauce, hummus and relish on the side. Fry in batches at 330 degrees F until a pale blonde color, about 45 seconds, spooning oil over the falafel constantly. Return the falafel to the oil, in batches, cover the pan with a lid for 30 seconds and fry until a deep brown color, spooning the oil over the falafel constantly

As they were cooling I decided I wanted to make something falafel-like with them. I started grabbing spices and seasonings I associate with foods I’ve enjoyed in Turkey, Pakistan, and in the UAE and ended making a Middle Eastern style wild rice dish in the pressure cooker and baked falafel-style slider-sized patties
What about an irresistibly juicy vegan falafel burger with soft pretzel bun and creamy tahini sauce. That’s what I did actually – just fried falafel on a frying pan
