Adventures in Falafel

And the falafel adventure continues. Yesterday, I mixed the falafel and tried deep frying them, but they fell apart. So I searched the internet for a solution and ended up adding flour and more baking powder and leaving them in the refrigerator for a couple hours longer. Then I tried again and they did not fall apart, but when they were very brown on the outside, they were still not cooked on the inside. Delicious, but not cooked. Hmm, what to do, what to do.

Various internet sources claimed falafel as a healthy snack, but Nidhal and I could not imagine how something that had just soaked up half a cup of oil could be healthy. The logical solution is, of course, baking. So today I tried baking them, and it basically worked. They weren't crunchy on the outside or dry in the middle, but they were delicious.

And now I am continuing with a Harry Potter marathon. Yesterday was The Sorcerer's Stone and today is The Chamber of Secrets.
