Classic Falafel
Using raw chickpeas (soaked for at least 12 hours to soften) yields falafel with a great texture, soft on the inside, crunchy on the outside. Serve warm, with cucumber-yogurt sauce, tahini sauce, or harissa, and fresh pita bread. Game plan: Make a batch of Cucumber-Yogurt Sauce before you begin.

Directions
60 min.
1. Step
In a large bowl, soak the chickpeas in cold water to cover by 2–3 inches. Leave at room temperature for at least 2 hours and up to 24 hours.
2. Step
Drain the chickpeas well in a colander. Add them to the bowl of a food processor. Add all the remaining ingredients except for the oil for frying. Pulse until the ingredients are nearly pulverized but not too pasty.
3. Step
In a saucepan, warm 2 to inches of oil over medium-high heat to about 50°F.
4. Step
Scoop up heaping tablespoons of the chickpea mixture and shape it into balls or small patties, then carefully drop it into the hot oil, being sure not to add too many falafels at once. Fry until browned, turning occasionally, about minutes.
5. Step
Using a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels to drain. Serve warm or at room temperature.
