FALAFEL BALLS

1~2~~~4~5~ 2lb dry garbonzo beans

~~~~~~4~5~ 3/4C minced parsley
~~~~~~4~5~ 4t garlic powder
~~~~~~4~5~ 2t ground cumin seed
~~~~~~4~5~ 2t ground corriander seed
~~~~~~4~5~ 1T salt
~~~~~~4~5~ 1C minced scallion
~~~~~~4~5~ 1C grated onion
~~~~~~4~5~ 1C bread crumbs or dehydrated potato flake shit
~~~~~~4~5~ 1.5C water
~~~~3~4~5~ 1T baking powder or baking soda
~~~~3~4~5~ 2T vinegar(not ballsacktic)
~~~~~~~~5~ 2C white flour

1~ soak till soaked(bout 8 hours). use hot water if you want a power(fast) soak about 2 hours in hot water.
2~ grind in a food mill or food processer
3~ mix
4~ mix
5~ mix

then roll into 1.5 inch balls or patties and deep fry till dark brown. try baking them if you want. i havent yet. the larger you make them the less the center gets cooked...soooo.......figure it out.
and u can replace half the beans with split peas. i do half garbanzo and half green/yellow split peas....i wrote this drunk so if it sucks let me know.

edit: do not grind the mixture so much that it gets pasty. this will be too dense and not cook properly. you want a kind of mealy consistency. and thanx to mark ganzer, we found out that the best way to make the balls is to scoop them out with a small ice cream scoop(1.5 inch size). it seems that this is best because when you use your hands, you kinda pack them too tightly which makes a dense ball. the scoop method works great. thanx again mark.
