Red Kidney Bean Falafels
Falafels are usually prepared from Chickpeas..I tried preparing Falafels with Kidney Beans instead. They are rich in protein and can be a great evening snack for both kids & adults.

Ingredients
- 240cup gms Red Kidney Beans1 Canned RedKidney Beans or 1 Cup Pressured Cooked Rajma
- 2tablespoon plain flour
- 2tablespoon Bread Crumbs
- 1 onion
- 1teaspoon salt
- 1teaspoon Black Pepper Powder
- 1teaspoon Cumin Powder
- 1teaspoon Coriander Powder
- 1tablespoon Flaxseed Powderoptional
- 2tablespoon Oilfor brushing on top of falafels before baking them
- 1tablespoon Dried Herbs (i didn’t have fresh herbs. Used dried parsely instead. You can use coriander leavesmint leaves, spring onions too)
- 1teaspoon chopped ginger garlic
- 1tablespoon Sesame Seeds
Instructions
- In a Mixie or in a food processor add Beans, salt, spice powders, ginger garlic pieces
- Blend it until the beans are 3/4th mashed
- In a bowl add the mashed beans, chopped onions, flaxseed powder, plain flour,dried herbs and mix them all together
- At last add Bread Crumbs and Sesame Seeds
- Now divide the bean mash into small discs or balls
- Brush oil on top of the Falafels and line them on a baking tray
- Preheat oven to 180c for 10 minutes and bake these Falafels for 20 minutes. I turned on the Grill mode for one minute just to get that golden crunchy top on the Falafels
- Serve the Falafels with Dips of your choice. You can even use it along with chapathi and eat it as a wrap
- I arranged the salad leaves on a bowl with a teaspoon of Honey Mustard dressing, placed the Falafels, added some chopped onions&tomatoes, cucumber slices and topped it with a teaspoon of Yogurt. Since these falafels were baked they get dried out quickly unlike deep fried version. Adding yogurt as a dip helped in bringing the salad together
- Dinner was so filling 🙂
