Lebanese Platter – FALAFEL

Lebanese is an upcoming cuisine these days which is being shown a lot of love by vegetarians to have something DIFFERENT than the others. A Lebanese Vegetarian platter consists of a pizza base like bread, a chickpea dip, Falafel –  a tikky, a curd dip and a salad as the main parts.

Thus, been inspired by the upcoming fashion and love for this cuisine I tried my hands on it as a whole Sunday brunch. I was really happy to find my family liking it and thus sharing the same with all of you as well.

FALAFEL RECIPE

Ingredients:

• 200 gms Chickpeas, soaked overnight
• 1 large onion (chopped)
