falafel recipe modifications
nerdshark's modifications to the falafel recipe at https://toriavey.com/toris-kitchen/2011/01/falafel/
no parsley
instead of ground coriander, substitute one fistful of chopped cilantro, probably about 1/3 cup, or more if you really like cilantro. alternatively, for convenience, you might be able to use cilantro chutney or adobo cilantro (culantro) cooking base. just mind the moisture of the 'dough'
instead of flour, try to squeeze some moisture out of the soaked and ground chickpeas, the onions, and the cilantro. this will help the 'dough' stay together better without altering the flavor
2tsp or more of black pepper
add red pepper flakes to taste in addition to the cayenne pepper
try half a tablespooon of cumin, and add more to taste
add a generous pinch of paprika
no cardamom
peanut oil for frying is a MUST. it tastes the best.
