This recipe was a pleasant surprise. I added an extra egg and half cup whole wheat flour and I kept the patties small and they held together. What a great way to get gabanzo beans into your diet.

These are so yummy. I made them with 2 cups dried chickepeas (soaked over night, boiled for 1.5 hours) and discarded all cooking water. I added a little coriander seed (ground) and some chili pepper (not much). I increased the amount of mushrooms, onion and breadcrumbs to get a cookie dough consistency.I used two whole eggs as I couldn't be bothered separating the yolk from the whites. Unless you are watching your cholesterol, there is no need to separate out the eggs. Instead of frying, I brushed the patties with a little olive oil and broiled for a few minutes until browned. They turned out nice a crispy without too much oil. We will definitely have these over and over again since my 15 month old son LOVES these. They are great with tzatziki and/or in a pita with lots of veggies (tomato, lettuce, olives...etc). I am sure they'd be good as 'veggie burgers' too.

Awesome! Instead of keeping the juice in the chickpeas, I juiced a lemon and added some lemon rind, they were great!

These turned out too mushy, even after I doubled the amount of bread crumbs. Otherwise flavorful and very easy to prepare.

Very good. I left out the mushrooms because I did not have any at the house. I read all the comments about leaving out the curry powder. I would suggest a red curry powder instead of yellow. Very good although a little crumbly. I grilled them after frying in the skillet on the grill. This would be easier if they held together better. After looking at some other recipes a bit of flower might help with this.

These burgers are absolutely amazing, but only if you serve them with MAYO. Without mayo they are still good but with mayo they are great. Cheese is also good but not as necessary. Also, you need more bread crumbs than the recipe suggests!

turned out great. did need more breadcrumbs than called for. didn't have cilantro so i used some dried basil and it turned out great. cut the curry by 1/2tsp and upped the cumin by same amount. did find that the middle of the patties was mushy, maybe i made the patties too thick?? great flavor. served w/ some mushroom Quiona and tahini recipe from allrecipes.com

This recipe is amazing! I had never made falafel from scratch until trying this out, and it exceeded my expectations. I didn't have cilantro or curry powder on hand so I left them out, but it was still great without them. I also broiled the patties in the oven with brushed on vegetable oil rather than frying. They got nice and crispy with less fat required! I then stuffed the patties in pita pockets with sliced cucumber, tomato, avocado, and fresh spinach with a lemon tahini dressing. DELICIOUS. I will definitely make this meal at least a few times a month from now on! Even my meat-loving husband loved this vegetarian recipe!

my daughter who is a vegetarian, realy liked these, but I also found them too sticky to handle after adding extra breadcrumbs. I put my hands in flour before shaping them. Will definitely have these again, without the curry.
