Falafel recipe

Here is the recipe for those patties I posted last week...
I have added a teaspoon of chilli flakes to make it spicy. My friend had said.. spice and salt according to taste.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup dried chickpeas
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 2-3 cloves of garlic, chopped
• 1 green chilli chopped
• 1 teaspoon red chilli flakes 
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 tablespoon coriander leaves/ cilantro, chopped
• 1 tablespoon grated carrot (if you like)
• 2 tablespoons flour or more if needed
• a pinch of baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt or more
• oil for frying

Rinse chickpeas in a bowl and allow to soak overnight.
Drain the chickpeas and set aside.
In a pan, over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons oil and saute onion and green chilli for 2 to 3 minutes then add garlic and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
In a food processor, pulse together chick peas, red chili flakes and ground cumin and coriander to form a coarse consistency. Add water only if necessary, as little as possible. Then add flour, salt, and cilantro. Pulse until mixture starts pulling from the sides of the food processor.
Remove mixture to a large bowl and mix in the onion mixture and grated carrot. Chill falafel mix until ready to cook.
Before forming the mix into balls, check and add more salt or pepper if needed. Now mix in the baking powder as evenly as possible.
Heat the oil needed for frying.
Roll the dough into balls, slightly flatten them and deep fry until browned, turning as needed.
Drain on paper towels and serve hot with yoghurt dip or use it as a filling in pita bread.
