3.Now add the Chick peas in the Mixer and grind it( If u find chick peas is is very hard to grind add very little amount of water to grind it.If u add too much of water u will not be able to make balls out of it,so be careful while adding the water).

4.Once the chick peas is grind ed (not to grind it to fine pieces) now add cumin seeds,coriander seeds,mint leaves,coriander leaves,salt,black pepper,ginger garlic,all purpose flour,Red chilly powder,baking soda and grind it again(Again don't grind it finely,If u grind it finely it will consume more oil).

5.Meanwhile in a dry pan pour oil and keep it in a medium flame .

6.Meanwhile from the grinded mixture ,divide and make small balls(dont make it large balls because it will not boil properly while frying.Another reason is since we are adding baking soda it will itself enlarge the balls to 1.5 times).

7.Now check whether the oil is heated(just test it with the pinch of the grinded mixture).

8.Then add the grinded balls to the oil and allow it to fry on all sides,till it becomes golden brown(Dont add all the balls at a time,depending upon the pan size add the balls,space should be there between each ball so that it will not stick with one another and it will be easy for us to turn the ball on each side and make it fry properly).

9.Falafel is ready to taste.

You can have it with the vita bread or Durum it tastes good..Instead of Mint leaves you can use Parsley also.
