Falafel | Basics with Babish

Weird place to tell you, but guys I just got engaged to Jess!

Would almond butter/paste be a suitable substitute for tahini….? Wife has a sesame allergy.

As an Arab I’m offended (sarcasm) by this white falafel/hummus remix, sounds like a Justin Bieber take on Notorious B.I.G. Big Poppa, 5 stars for trying and spreading the culture though.

So falafel is just hushpuppies made with chickpeas instead of corn.

as a jew thats some fine flafel

When I tried to make it my falafel disintergrated into the oil. Was my oil not hot enough or did i purree it to fine?

Miracles lone

With all of the food that Andrew makes in ball form. I'm thinking he could get a LOT more use from that takoyaki pan than just one episode. Falafel, yeah, but also shrimp balls and oatmeal balls. But you'd have to adapt the recipe so that the balls can either be welded together, as in the case of oatmeal balls, or cast in the molds before turning and adding more material.

I can't seem t get my. chick peas to reach a reasonable softness. They are very hard stiff. I always eave them soaking 24 hours or more. I have tried adding some baking soda as advised and that did not help. What am I doing wrong?

Babish? What are you doing in my falafel?

Why did you chop the garlic? Dont you trust your food processor?

My friend, deep frying falafel is the only way you get the full flavor, and it's the traditional way.

Looks normal

Being Hispanic, I’m tempted to call it “masa de garbanzo para falafel”. 😊

Not negligible difference in health, deep frying is tasty but think of it as smoking 20 cigarettes

Just recently fell in love with falafel 🤤

Why does mine fall apart when I fry ? What did i do wrong

As a middle eastern I don't claim these falafels and hummus

So proud of you for making this!

Looks beautiful 👍

Corriandor, that's cilantro seeds? I've noticed adding a bit of reccao aka dandelion leaf also works

id say falafel mixture

Congratulations 🎉 🎉 🎉🎉 🎉

for baking not to be sticky u may try ...first preheat the oven with the tray till like 400F and once oven is hot take out the tray carefully and spray a bit of oil on the tray and then put the Falafel. It reduces the risk of getting stick in my case : )

I think u need to know more how to prepare falafel, the dough was so sticky and u were struggling handling it, u should've let the dough set with the baking powder for a while and to add baking soda, less herbs add some olive oil, then u get the right dough

They are called chickpeas

It’s “falafel dough” as translated from Arabic. I would at least double the parsley amount. A better falafel is distinguished by the bright saturated green colour inside instead of a dull yellowish green. Another sign is the coarse outside surface instead of a smooth surface— which can be affected by the amount of baking powder and overworking the dough when forming the balls. Using a falafel mold with auto release is preferred in professional authentic restaurants in the middle east. Sumac was missing in your spice mix. A better tahini base is usually lighter in color— a sign that the seeds weren’t over roasted or burnt. A small amount of cilantro is used by some falafel professionals alongside parsley. Mint and dill similarly have a sporadic presence. Adding onion and a small amount of fresh Serrano pepper is somewhat essential. I’ve seen these small inaccuracies in falafel recipes throughout the united states. Let me know if you find this helpful:)

really liked your original take on the final plating. it's the little things....

as a jew guy from isreal thats how you make a flafal

Whatttt!!!!! it should be illegal to bake felafel you basically ruin it

I don't plan on cooking many of the dishes in the Basics with Babish series, not for a long while (I.E. when i have my own kitchen), but these episodes are super comforting for someone who struggles to try new foods.

I'd always avoided Falafel because I had no idea what it was, same for hummus, so having a full recipe video that breaks it down beginning to end what it is is incredible. I actually feel like I could make that leap to try it now.

U forgot the pita

Mexican falafel burrito - falafel balls, hummus, shredded cheese, avocado, sour cream, veggies, salsa.

Falafel burger - make a bun by forming falafel into bun shapes and fry. Alternatively, replace your burger with a falafel patty.

Istedet for ovn stegning bruger vi et vaffeljern giver sprøde falafel med mindre olie men pande steget er det bedste

Magnus Chase: heavy breathing

I decided to make my own tahini. I was toasting the sesame seeds then 5 wax worms start dancing around on my pan.

I find that falafel made this way tend to come out too dry. There’s gotta be a way to add moisture without damaging the structure. Perhaps a touch of olive oil?

I’m guessing baked falafel would be better cooked on parchment paper?

Thanks for the jokes & congrats on engagement!

I like to press my falafel into hockey puck like disks for a more crispy experience.

This looks like it took a lot of time

Why in the video you don't use all-purpose flour but in the recipe from your site, you're using it? You just forgot to add it here or it shouldn't be put in the falafel?

Flafel mixture

תערובת פלאפל

Why ice water for both hummus and tahini as opposed to warm water?

Fake falafel please dont do that at home

Congratulations I mean it congratulations so who's going to be wearing the pants in the household there and who's going to be wearing a dress if you don't mind me asking I think a lot of people are going to yell at this post anyways I know it's late I recently got my internet back that's why it's late
