2- Form the falafel balls using a falafel mould or with dampened hands.

3- In a deep frying pan, pour half a glass of vegetable oil. Heat the oil for 3 minutes.

4- Fry the falafel balls over a reduced heat for 4 minutes on each side, turning them over, or until golden brown. Drain off the excess oil.
