This was my first time making Falafel, and I will definitely make it again! I think I had too much liquid in my mixture so I needed to add extra crumbs. Next time, I'll just make sure less liquid goes into the garbanzo bean mixture. My boyfriend and I ate our falafel in pita pockets with lettuce and tomatoes. It made a healthy meal, nice to eat on the porch with, and definitely fun to make!

2 stars only due to lack of flavor. They held together great, but the consistency was like pablum warmed through-did not get firm or crispy at all. They also tasted mostly like breadcrumbs. For future attempts will add-major cumin, salt, bell-pepper for flavor,tahini or (more)garlic and less breadcrumbs.

This was a great recipe. I only used 1 tsp. of curry as others had suggested and that seemed like it was just the right amount. I drained half of the liquid from the beans but I ended up having to add almost a quarter cup more bread crumbs to get the right consistency so next time I'm going to drain all of it. So good...

Very good! Batter wasn't easily "shape-able" so I just placed spoonfuls in the pan to begin the cooking process--and as they cooked they held their shape. I used "Nature's Own" garbanzo beans to cut back the amount of sodium in the recipe too.

These were also yummy. The ideal consistency was really challenging. Would add only the liquid from 1 can of garbanzo beans instead of both.

These were good. A nice healthy dish. They needed some sort of sauce to jazz them up- but other than that they were great. Because I don't like to fry things, I made patties, froze them, and then put them on a medium heat skillet frozen. They turned out perfectly crispy on the outside, just like if they were fried.

Pretty good. I used eggbeaters and cumin/coriander/cayenne instead of curry. Served it in whole wheat pita with yogurt sauce and raw onion. Family liked the addition of mushrooms as a change from the usual falafel.

I tweaked this recipe a bit to make falafel balls. I ground fresh croutons umbs in the fodo processor to get about 1 cup of bread crumbs, added the drained chickpeas and discarded all the liquid, one white onion, 6 cloves of garlic, a hand full of fresh parsley, salt, pepper, cumin and a dash of red pepper flakes and gave it a whir in the food processor until it formed a really dry mix then added 3 medium eggs- one at a time to get a cookie dough consistency. I used my cookie scoop to make the balls and then rolle dthem in bread crumbs before giving them a dunk in the deep fryer. Served with a cucumber, lemon and sour cream sauce. They were a hit.

Delicious! I added 1 Tb tahini to processor, and halved the curry, and it was perfect for me.FYI- everything went into the processor (breadcrumbs last) except onions and mushrooms, which I stirred in after every thing else was mixed.This recipe is a keeper.Thanks, Jojo!

Pretty much followed the recipe, but omitted the mushrooms (for my husband) and substituted 1/2 cup oats and 2 tbsp. flour as suggested by another review. I also only added some of the chickpea liquid. The burgers came out crisp on the outside, but the texture inside was a little too mushy and didn't remind me of a "real" falafel. With a little tweaking I think it could be better.

I loved the texture and flavor, but hated how messy they were. I think perhaps next time I'll add less bread crumbs so that they stick together better. I served them with a sour cream/lime juice dressing on whole wheat potato rolls.

Very good. Took a lot of work for a novice like myself, but all in all worth it. I baked instead of fried to make it a little healthier, and served with spicy mustard. Yum!

Great recipe!! Really easy too. As with the other raters, it definitely needs at least another cup of bread crumbs to hold everything together. Ohterwise, I like it just the way it is. I'm adding this to my favourite recipes book. Thanks!!

I agree that this does not taste like real falafel. It's not bad, just not very authentic. I also had a hard time getting them to stick so more breadcrumbs were needed. Won't make this again, it was not worth the work.

They were very yummy. I had to add more breadcrumbs and one more egg white to hold it all together. And didn't add as much curry powder either. I made small patties and served them with Tzatziki. Everyone loved them.

These were delicious! The only thing I changed was that I added 1/2 tsp. of a mediterannean spice blend instead of the curry powder. Next time, I would also eliminate the water from the chick peas so the mixture would stick together better. My husband loved it too, and I will definitely make it again!
