Title: In The Mix - Carrot Felafel
Post by: Hazelnut on March 12, 2012, 07:23:19 am

Well I have to say that this recipe was an unmitigated failure. I followed the recipe to the letter and the felafel was so mushy it just fell apart in cooking so the family are eating felafelish mush tonight. A real disappointment. I tried both pan frying and deep frying the felafel balls but both just collapsed. I have no idea what to do with the other half of the mixture now. Wishing I had some chooks.

Don't bother. >:(

I had exactly the same problem.  It was implied that it was my problem.  Rubbish.!!!!!! I used canned chick peas,  well drained.
Shame to waste what is left.  I would mix some bought Felafel mix into what you have,  Or grind up some chick peas and fold this in.

I managed to salvage the mixture by adding a lot of flour but then they had a doughy texture. I had the same issue with the Okonomiyaki.
