BEST EGYPTIAN FALAFEL EVER
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Ta'ameya, is Egyptian falafel made with fava beans rather than chickpeas. It has an insanely crispy exterior and a fluffy interior that's not matched by any other falafel. This recipe shows you how to make Egyptian Ta'ameya, just like you'd get on the streets of Cairo, and I'll give you the secret technique that gets it really fluffy.

Ingredients:
Taameya Batter
400g Split Fava beans
100g Spring Onions
100g Leeks
50g Coriander
50g Parsley
4 Cloves of garlic
2 Tsp Dried Coriander
1 Tsp Cumin
1 Tsp Cayenne
2.5 Tsp salt
1l (1 quart) vegetable oil for frying
Harissa Filling
1 Medium Brown Onion
1.5 Tbsp of Harissa
1.5 Tbsp of Red Pepper or tomato paste
1 Tbsp of Olive Oil
1/4 Tsp Cumin
1/4 Tsp salt
1/4 Tsp Pepper
1/4 Tsp Coriander
Topping
1/4 Cup Coriander seeds
1/4 Cup Sesame
----
To make the batter:
1. Wash your fava beans thoroughly in the sink, then place in a bowl and cover with water. Allow them to soak for a minimum of 8 hours
2. Once doubled in size, drain the fava beans and set them aside
3. Wash your leeks, spring onions, coriander and parsley, then roughly chop them up
4. Add the greens to your food processor and add the beans on top (The weight of the beans will help force the herbs into the blade)
5. Process everything until a finely minced paste forms, then add the salt and spices
6. Mix together thoroughly until well combined then set aside
To make the stuffing:
1. Dice your onion into a small dice, then place in a pot over medium heat with 1 tbsp of olive oil
2. Saute until the onions start to soften then add the Harissa, Red Pepper paste and the seasonings
3. Add a small amount of water to form a sauce, then allow it to cook down and thicken
4. Repeat adding water and allowing the topping to reduce until the onions are cooked through
To make the topping:
1. Using a pestle and mortar, lightly crush the Coriander seeds till you can smell their aroma
2. Combine the coriander with the sesame and it's ready to use
To whip up the batter:
1. Add about a quarter of the batter to a stand mixer, and whisk it on medium speed for about 5 minutes
2. When it is light and fluffy it's ready to be used
3. Use the whipped mixture immediately as it will deflate quickly
To shape the falafel:
1. Wet the palm of your hand or a piece of parchment paper, very lightly
2. Place about 2-3 Tbsp (or 1 ice cream scoop) of Batter on the paper/your hand then lightly flatten it using very little pressure
3. Wet your second hand and press it into the topping, then lightly press the topping to the batter so it sticks
4. Flip your Ta'ameya onto your second hand or another piece of parchment paper then apply the topping this side as well
5. Fry the ta'ameya within 5 minutes otherwise it will deflate
To stuff the falafel:
1. Repeat steps 1-2 from above, making it slightly smaller
2. Place a small amount of filling on top of the batter and flatten it out
3. Add more batter on top then join the sides together
4. Add the topping to both sides or leave plain to differentiate it
To fry the falafel:
1. Heat your oil to 160c or 320f, then add your falafel in
2. Once added, baste the top with hot oil so it solidifies, then fry for 2-3 minutes on this side
3. Flip over once browned then fry for another 2-3 minutes
4. When that time is up, fry it for 2 more minutes on each side
5. Remove from the oil and drain, before placing it on a paper towel lined tray to dry

My wife and I lived in Beni Suef where I worked. Our Egyptian housekeeper's father was a falafel street vender. She used to bring us Falafel in the morning and then bring us the prepared batter. I've eaten Falafel from all over the Middle East and North Africa and without a doubt, the Egyptian is the best. Thanks for the tip about the Fava Beans. Now, I'll look on your channel for some Ful Beans!

I agree with you Egyptian falafel is the best
Anyone watching this from Ulm, Germany should drop everything, go to Pingu Cafe in Münsterplatz and get yourself some authentic Egyptian falafel! Best falafels I've ever had. I always wondered what their secret was. Now I'm living in another country and can't get them anymore I'll be trying this recipe for sure.
No, you're not biased, you're completely right. Egyptian Ta'ameya is the best!❤️❤️❤️
What I love the most about this channel is the fact that I grew up hearing about these dishes in Egyptian movies, as a Moroccan who grew up watching Egyptian movies and tv shows, I would hear people talk about foul we taameya, kochary, molokheya, ma7chy, 7amam belfereek, makarona bel bechamel,... but I was never curious enough to look up the recipes. Now I feel closer to my fellow Egyptians and to their culture through watching this channel. Needless to say I am hooked! Outstanding job you guys!

I remember I went to a local cafe regularly before lockdown, they had a freshly made falafel wrap that always blew me away - the falafel inside were bright green and always super moist and fluffy and flavourful. In hindsight they must've been Ta'ameya! No wonder they were so good...

to my knowlage every good falafel is that green, even the "normal" chickpea based ones. If it is not bright green it will not taste right. I am very curious to try these to see, how much of a difference the beans make, for otherwise, the recipe I am used too is pretty much the same ^^
Bravo !!!! I love love love Egyptian food and of course, molokhia is the love of my life...Taameiya is also the best falafel kind out there.
Not only does this look absolutely delicious, you seem like a very wholesome person. It’ll be wonderful to watch your future successes! :)

I'm used to eating my family's Lebanese falafel. While I'll probably still use a mix of fava and chickpea, I have to say I am very impressed by the amount of technique involved in Egyptian falafel and learned a lot from watching this video!
@MiddleEats

Thank you. We honestly had no idea what the actual technique was, because Egyptian home cooks always use Bicorbonate of soda in their falafel to get it fluffy. After watching a bunch of videos from restaurants, my wife had the amazing idea to whip it up, and it worked perfectly. It's definitely quite technical, but it makes sense from a restaurants perspective. Fluffy taameya, has more air in it, so you can make more balls with the same amount of batter and therefore more money. And on the plus side, it's a lot lighter.
OMG I have to try!!!!!
I reckon this channel has a potentiel to grow HUGE!

I see falafel I subscribe. being an American Egyptian who lives in Egypt. That's basically my breakfast EVERYDAY I can't get enough of it
These look (and sound) amazing! Thank you for the detailed recipe. My boyfriend is from Alexandria and he often talks about how much he misses ful and falafel, so I can't wait to try and make some of these for him.
Wow Obi, you never let me down. I made these tonight and they were amazing! The best falafel I ever had was 22 years ago from a little place in the middle of Cairo. They had a huge crowd of people rushing to the front waving their hands in the air to place their orders. It reminded me of footage you see of the New York Stock Exchange in the 80s. I’ll never forget it. These remind me so much of that delicious food I had so many years ago. Thanks for the recipe and thanks for everything you do with your channel.
I love falafel and have bought countless "make at home kits" that have always left me disappointed, but I tried your recipe today and am completely blown away by it, so thank you thank you thank you!
The beautiful loving smiles you and your wife have together are such a touching moment while sharing this recipe with us! I can't wait to give this recipe a try, it already feels like I've taken notes at the family kitchen table.
Man, I will be honest. I see a lot of people from everywhere in the world in terms getting new recipes for vegan dishes. The authenticity of the dish ( which I value highly in a dish), history and insights on that are really motivating for me. I just feel positive while watching the videos and following the procedure. Made this and koshari, loved both of them to the core. Huge thank you for everything. Only here to spread the love for food to other people.
During the pandemic I've perfected my skills in making houmous, baba ganoush and muhammara. (I'm sure there are spelling mistakes there. :-)) Falafel has been on my list of things to do next, and this version with the fluffy fava bean batter looks delicious. The algorithms suggested this video, and your channel looks very nice: I'll be sure to come back! It looks like you've grown from 20k to almost 50k subscribers in three months: good work and no doubt well deserved!

You two are amazing! Since my mother returned to Egypt, I've been dying to make authentic Egyptian food. Thanks to this channel, I was able to make Ful, Molokhia and now Ta'meya - food that I've grown up on and haven't had since my mom left years ago. Everything has tasted just as good as I remember thanks to your video providing me with the recipes I was missing to put it all together. Thank you so, so much.

Just wanted to say a couple things that I hope you and your wife get a chance to see! I've made this dish two days in a row (the first day, the 400 grams of beans did not make enough to feed my family of 5 haha). My second day making it (today) went phenomenally. They were delicious, fluffy, crispy, etc! I found you two through Adam Ragusea's podcast and I told myself I absolutely had to try making one of your recipes - I found this one and loved the concept of them. Well worth the effort! You've helped a small-town guy from Michigan introduce my family to Egyptian/Middle-Eastern cuisine. We try very hard to make a recipe from different cultures at least once a week, but we always had so much trouble finding food to make from Africa/M.E. This channel has allowed us to experience a culture/cuisine that would have otherwise been impossible for us to experience at home because of language barriers. Cheers!
I've made many falafel recipes over the years and this is the one I always come back to. The texture is just superior. Also fava beans are immensely better than chickpeas nutritionally (around twice the protein and fibre per calorie). So happy to see how this channel has grown since this first came out. You deserve your success.

Tried this recipe and it turned out DELICIOUS!!! Thank you so much for the detailed, well edited video. I had almost everything at home expect the spring onions so used roscoff onions instead. Will make sure to try it with spring onions at some point although not very easy to come by where I live. This makes for a much brighter in flavour type of fallafel than recipes I've tried before (love my usual Palestinian recipe) but something about ta'ameya is more satisfying. My favourite flavouring in here that I had never added/had in falafel before is the leek, it makes a massive difference.

Hey Boris, glad to hear that. Hopefully you'll get rid of the high limit on low LTV mortgages and make some real affordable homes. In all seriousness, glad you guys loved them, did you do the whipping technique? I'd love to see photos if you took any.

@@MiddleEats The whipping technique (Kitchenaid stand mixer) worked brilliantly. Also, your recommendation of using an ice cream scoop saved the day. (I was in a bit of a hurry and did not have time to try the plastic wrap technique - perhaps next time.) No photos, sorry, never occurred to me - next time, I promise. As for high limits on low LTV mortgages, I am the GOOD Boris, and therefore sadly not in a position to bring about change. 😤

Amazing, glad to hear it made them fluffy. Yeah the ice cream scoop makes it so easy, and because the batter is wet, unlike chickpea, you don't need to work on packing it in to the scoop. Ah that's a shame, could do with a better kitchen 😁
This recipie looks awesome. Definitely will have to try this. Glad to see your channel growing :D keep up the great work

No problem Cailey! Glad to hear you liked it and the texture turned out good. Did you do the full whipping technique? If you have any photos, send them to us on Instagram, we'd love to see.
I've been binging your videos since I came across them yesterday. I made the Msabaha this morning from your Lebanese breakfast video and really liked how it came out. Falafel was my introduction to Middle Eastern food years ago and is one of my favorite foods. Now that I came across this video, I really looking forward to making this too. Thanks for all the time and effort you put into these videos and congrats on the channel's growth. You guys deserve it.
Oh my god. The sound the falafel made when you broke it gave me flashbacks of my time in Egypt, where I enjoyed the most delicious falafel I’ve ever had!

Haha yeah, this is the real deal. Just like you get in Egypt.
I’ve made Egyptian Tameya many times! This is the first time I’ve heard of whipping the batter. Gonna give it a try!

Came back to watch this recipe again to make on the weekend and heard 20k special. You are over 250k now mate! Keep it up, I was wanting to make a middle eastern youtube channel as there didn't seem to be one making the recipes accessible to people, but you smashed it so hard I didn't want to anymore.
