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!

Excellent flavor!! I had a hard time getting it to solidify in the middle, but it may have just been the way I was cooking it.

These are delicious! A few changes: I definitely needed to add a cup plus a dash more of breadcrumbs to get the whole thing to stick together... I'd recommend starting with 1/2 a cup and adding more slowly until you get a good texture for rolling the burgers. Also, I agree that the curry might have been a little much, and may try cutting some of it in favor of more cumin and maybe some paprika next time. However, the cooked mushrooms and scallions are a wonderful touch and the burgers were great! (Crumbling problems can be solved by rolling the balls very well between your hands before flattening them into burgers.) I served mine on a sesame whole grain bun with tahini and a big slice of tomato, and put some greens tossed with a little more tahini on the side. I'm definitely saving this recipe!

My husband and I really enjoyed these. Instead of making burgers, I rolled them into smaller balls to make falafel balls instead of burgers. We really liked them :)

I actually added a little more egg white to keep the batter together AND I added some minced up greek olives! Whoa, awesome! (not sure why one commenter said that it was dangerous frying food, but maybe they should get in the kitchen and try cooking a little more often. It gets less scary the more you learn ;-)

Had to do a little tweaking to make this work... I reduced the amount of curry to about half a tablespoon. Had to add extra bread crumbs because the mixture was super gloppy. Next time I might leave out some of the chickpea liquid to try to compensate for that. Overall, very delicious and will make again!

Tastes great, but I found I needed to add a lot more bread crumbs otherwise the mixture went to crumbs while frying

I tried it twice, in case I had messed up the recipe initially, but no. These babies crumbled like feta. Also, the cooking process was a tad dangerous. Maybe a deep fryer would have worked better.

I loved this recipe!! Since I'm not a fan of mushrooms, I eliminated them added 2T. flour and about 1/4c. oats to fill out the mixture. The texture was ideal for falafel, and was delicious served on whole wheat pita with sliced tomato and fat free sour cream. Will definitely make again~

I did use only 1 1/2 tsp of curry (because I can't imagine using more than that in this recipe), and not only did they taste nothing like real falafel, but the consistency of the patties was just plain mushy. i will never make this one again.

I think I would have liked this recipe even better if I would have left out the curry. It seemed to overpower the other flavors. I only used 2 tsp. 1 1/2 Tbls seemed like it would be too much. I served it on pita bread with yogurt sauce and veggies. My husband liked it too.
