Have made them several times, super easy to throw together. The only things I change are lowering the salt, as other reviewers said, and I bake them instead of frying. So yummy!

We eat falafel all the time and this was a nice twist on the norm. I used canned chick peas but tried the no salt added version. It needed salt in the end. Loved the color with all the peppers and parsley but they were quite wet. When you fry them, make smaller size spoonfuls and I think they will cook through better. Will try rolling in flour next time too. Super yummy tho!!

I appreciated the advice of other reviewers and used about 1/2 the salt and cumin, and rolled the falafel in flour before frying. Rolling in flour also allowed them to be hand-formed, to save time. I found the recipe fun, easy and flavorful! So much flavor for the simplicity of the recipe.

If this is your first time preparing this recipe, then I definitely suggest you cut the salt quantities-- other than that I have no complaints. This homemade version tastes fresher than anything store bought. I eat them without the pitas, topped with a lightly dressed white onion and tomato garnish and accompanied by a cabbage slaw salad. Canned chickpeas work just fine, I don't have the patience to soak beans overnight.

Im sure if this was my dirst time making/having felafel it would be great
the big flaw in this recipie is that you should never use canned chick peas, the texture is soooo much better when you start off with dired chick peas and soak and cook them yourself

Followed recipe as written; used less salt which I always do. Easy and delicious. Made with Guy's pita bread, tatziki sauce and tomato salad. Fantastic meal.

I spat them out and said "These are fa-aweful". Yeah, I think there is a typo in the Yogurt Sauce recipe. A Tablespoon of salt WTF? It was way to salty. I would even avoid salting the balls when they come out of the oil too. Plus the Falafel Balls would fall apart super fast in the oil, I would roll them in flour next time. I think I will try a different recipe with tahini sauce next time. fecking fla-aweful

So I already had some falafel mix so i only pulled the yogurt from this recipie. Woah, maybe it was just me, but i was not feeling it. It was way to salty and very lemon-ie. I suppose that i fiddle with the recipie a bit it could have made something out of it, but why bother. So many recipies out there... I'll try a different one next time.

Once again, didnt make the falafel. The one star is not a review for the falafel, just the yogurt.
