The proper Middle Eastern falafel — dried chickpeas (never canned) soaked overnight, then ground raw with onion, garlic and a generous bouquet of parsley, coriander, cumin and coriander seeds. The raw soak is what gives that craggy, lacy texture; canned chickpeas turn to porridge and fall apart in the oil.
