Falafel – Ebelskiver / Appe Pan Recipe

Directions

-Process the chickpeas, parsley, cilantro, ginger and green chilies in a food processor using chopping blade until rough coarse texture don’t over process into a paste.
-Once the mixture reaches the desired consistency and texture, pour it out in a mixing bowl and add chopped onions, salt, black pepper, roasted cumin powder and lemon juice and mix it to incorporate all the ingredients nicely. If you want at this point you can refrigerate the mixture for couple of hrs, I didn’t keep and right away made the round balls from it. Size of balls depends upon the cavity of your appe/ebelskiver pan.
-Heat the appe/ ebelskiver pan on a medium low heat and grease all the cavities using little oil.
-Put one ball in each cavity, no need to cover the pan.
-Once done and golden brown from bottom flip them with the help of spoon and add little more oil from the sides, if you see the sides are not getting brown flip them again so that they should be golden brown and cooked from all sides.
-Repeat the process with the remaining falafel balls and serve them with tahini or hummus.
