So here is Weekend Number 8:: Israel....and the famous street food from there.. "Falafels"
A friend had mentioned this recipe and how super tasty it is.I tried it over the long weekend and it made a wonderful dinner!!
In my little research..I found a interesting fact....we have been calling soybeans all wrong!! We called all tender green soybeans..Edamame right??? But actually...
Edamame: When young soybeans are still in the pod
Mukimame: Shelled soybeans without the pods (So here I used Mukimame)
The recipe was adapted from:
http://www.aartipaarti.com/2009/10/28/aarti-paarti-ep-29-pea-lafel/
Here are the changes I made:
No Fenugreek seeds
Add 1/2 cup Feta cheese
Add some red chili powder
Shallow fry after rolling in all purpose flour
Served here with a Whole wheat and Oats Pita bread...on a bed of spinach,tomatoes, sliced onion and topped with yogurt sauce.
