- 1 cup Chickpeas (overnight soaked)
- 1 tbsp Yellow split Pigeon Peas or Toor Dal
- 2 tbsp Yellow lentils or Moong Dal
- 2 tbsp split Green Moong Dal
- 1 tbsp Urad Dal

- ½ cup Water
Step 2
Once the falafel mixture has been chilled, stir in all-purpose flour , then scoop golf ball-sized balls and form into balls or patties (if you making patties,do not flatten them too much, you want them to still be nice and fluffy when they're cooked.)
Step 3
Frying is the traditional way to cook falafel and yields the most authentic and best result. Heat the oil on medium-high until it bubbles softly (your oil should be hot enough around 375 degrees F, but not too hot that it causes the falafel to fall apart).Carefully drop the falafel in the oil, using a slotted spoon, and fry for 3-5 minutes until medium brown on the outside. Avoid over-crowding the falafel fry them in batches if necessary.
Step 5
After the rest period, heat a large pan over medium heat. Roll each dough piece into a rough circle, about 6-9 inches in diameter, keep work surface and rolling pin lightly floured. Don’t stack uncooked tortillas on top of each other or they will stick together.
Step 6
When the pan is hot, place one dough circle into the pan and allow to cook 45 seconds to 1 minute or until the bottom surface has a few pale brown spots and the uncooked surface is bubbly. If browning too fast, reduce the heat a bit. If it’s taking longer than a minute to see a few pale golden brown spots on the underside of tortillas, increase the heat a bit. Flip to other side and cook for 15-20 seconds. The tortillas should be nice and soft but have a few small brown spots on the surface.
