I am Lebanese and we have our own Lebanese falafel wrapped with white Lebanese bread inside pickles, tahini sauce, parsley and slices of tomato so delicious .

In Egypt we call it Ta'meya in most cities and also falafel in some, but we use dry fava beans instead of chickpeas and i think it makes falafel better

I saw a lot of vegan recipes. People make alternatives to animal based meals but not tasty. Your recipes are simple and amazing. I am not vegetarian but after seeing your videos. I became 90 % vegan.

I do actually refer canned chickpeas.. I just hate the grainy texture of the soaked ones.. I prefer them crunchy and soft... however.. I doo add about a quarter cup cornmeal... that makes them UHHMAYZING !! AND I add sooo much parsley and Cilantro my batter is very very green. 😋👌

[jackseve]

OMG you made it look soooo easy. Now I want to try. Chickpeas are a staple in my home. I need to learn to make hummus. I eat it quite frequently. It’s a snack for me.
