1
In a food processor, place the garlic cloves and pulse until finely chopped.
2
Add the chopped parsley leaves and thin stems, and pulse to combine them with the garlic.
3
Add the drained and rinsed chickpeas, onions, salt, black pepper, crushed red pepper flakes, flour, baking soda, ground cumin, and ground coriander to the food processor. Pulse until everything is well-combined and finely chopped.
4
Transfer the falafel mixture to a bowl, and refrigerate for 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.

In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil to 370°F (188°C).
6
Using a small ice cream scoop or your hands, form the falafel into balls or mini patties.
7
Fry the falafel in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each batch for 4-5 minutes, or until uniformly golden brown.
8
Place the cooked falafel on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
9
Serve the falafel with your choice of tzatziki, tahini, or shawarma sauce, pita bread, and a chopped salad of cucumber, bell pepper, and onion.
