How is falafel made:
Falafel is made using dry chick peas which are soaked in water and then ground into falafel mix with spices such as cumin, coriander, garlic, salt, parsley, salt, and lemon juice.
How is falafel cooked:
Falafel is usually cooked in vegetable oil or sunflower oil and takes the shape of an oval ball.

The falafel maker can be purchased at www.falafelmaker.com
