You can serve it with any vegetable or fruit topping, salad, yogurt, sour cream, basically, with anything! If you play around with the spices and omit the onion, you can even drizzle it with honey, it's very tasty.

Ingredients

Chickpea - 5.3 oz
Onion - 1 piece
Garlic - to taste
Spices - to taste

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Preparation: soak a cup of chickpeas in cold water overnight. Before cooking, drain the remaining water from the swollen chickpeas. Chop the onion and garlic. Place everything in a blender, add spices. Here’s the interesting part: you can use a variety of spices, but I particularly enjoy adding khmeli-suneli, marjoram, mint, ginger, curry, paprika, and definitely cumin! The aroma and taste are amazing. If you want, you can add salt; I didn't, and it was still delicious.

Step 2

Blend everything, but don't turn it into flour; it's tastier when the chickpeas are ground into small granules (like in the photo). Next, line the bottom of the multicooker with foil (shiny side up). Roll the mixture into balls and place them in the bowl. Traditionally, falafel is deep-fried at this stage, but we are on a diet. If you wish, you can prepare it the traditional way. Set the multicooker to the baking mode for 50–60 minutes.
