Directions

Rinse and soak the dried chickpeas in water for 8 - 12 hours. After 8 hours, drain the water completely from the chickpeas.
In a food processor add chickpeas, cilantro, garlic, green chili and grind it to a coarse paste.
Transfer the ground chickpea mixture to a bowl, add salt, chopped onion and mix well. Refrigerate the ground chickpea mixture for an hour (optional, but it helps to enhance the herbs flavor).
Divide the chickpea mixture into the small portions and shape them into small balls and flatten in between your palms (optional) for the patties shape. In a hot oil drop the chickpea patties, one by one gently and deep fry until the color changes to golden brown.
For baked version: Preheat the oven to 420 degrees and brush the baking sheet with oil. Arrange the patties with enough amount of space in between each pattie. Again brush the oil on top of the patties and bake in a preheated 420 degrees oven for 30 mins until golden brown. Flip the falafels after 15 minutes of baking and bake for another 15 minutes.
For appe pan version: Heat a tsp of oil in each mold and add ground chickpeas mixture up to 3/4 full. Cover the appe pan with lid and cook the falafel on both the sides over a medium flame until the color changes to golden brown.
