Falafel : Super Crispy On The Outside And Moist On The Inside
Falafel Super Crispy On The Outside And Moist On The Inside
"Mediterranean + Indian flavored fritters made with a wide range of spices, herbs, and lentils. An Indian twist to a Mediterranean favorite! Growing up, we ate falafels very often. My mom always fried the falafels, but recently I started baking them. Honest opinion, if that’s what it takes to sacrifice a few calories then yes, I recommend it. Otherwise, nothing beats a fried “vara” (dumpling). Anyways, the other day she made falafels using multiple different lentils, and the end result, AHMAZING! The falafels turned out to be super crispy on the outside and moist on the inside."
