The healthiest fast food
Description
The appetizer is quick and simple to prepare. Making falafel is very easy and fast. The longest step is soaking the chickpeas. It's convenient to do this overnight, and in the morning quickly grind them with spices, shape into small balls about the size of a walnut, and fry them in a deep fryer. See the detailed recipe below. Serve with herbs and sauce.
