My basic falafel is:

1lb chickpeas (dry/pre-soaking)

1 onion

2-3 jalapenos

1 standard issue grocery store bunch of cilantro

a small pile of ground coriander

a variable amount of garlic

salt

flour if needed

I have some Sumac that I put into our hummus, and I keep meaning to try it in the falafel but I forget. TBH, we make it so infrequently I haven't felt much of a need to change it up.

We do have a big ass jar of turmeric...

    To the point where I've almost bought a deep fryer just to make them better/faster.

DON'T TEMPT ME!

I dare not take it. Not even to keep it safe.

Understand. I would use this fryer from a desire to do good... But over me, it would wield a power too great and terrible to imagine.

Oreos. I would fry a shitload of oreos.

By the bye, try frying up those chickpeas with a little paprika. I mean, you can legit drain a can of chickpeas and throw 'em in a thin layer of olive oil. They're crunchy and delicious.

I don't know what it is I'm doing wrong, but every time I've tried doing that I end up with gravel.

Weird. Cook 'em just til they start to brown.

My sentiments exactly. It would start innocently enough, but before long I'd be at

    shitload of oreos.

territory as well.
