Shall we pick some parsley, from the garden ?
Come on, let's go there.
Welcome once again to another video
from Jyju's Home Videos.
As we saw at the beginning of the video,
I picked some Parsley from the backyard
and went into the kitchen.
When I was thinking about what to make
or what to do with it,
two dishes came to my mind.
These are two beautiful dishes
from the Middle Eastern kitchen.
That is, two Mediterranean dishes.
The first is a salad called Tabouli.
Second, a snack called Falafel.
When these two are combined, then,
there is nothing to say.
These are two dishes that are so beautiful.
Let's go straight to the kitchen.

Today we make a Mediterranean dish called Falafel.
Let's see how to make Falafel.
The first thing you need is some fresh Parsley
and fine Bulgur.
This bulgur is a type of cooked cracked wheat.
Let’s start with cooking the Bulgur first.
Take a bowl first to cook.
We took one cup of Bulgur to the bowl.
Pour two cups of boiling water into it.
It's okay to add a little more water.
I poured two and a half cups of water.
Then we keep it shut.
It will be cooked in about ten minutes after closing
At that point we can start chopping
the rest of the vegetables and Parsley.
First let us clean the Parsley.
You see, I just picked them from the garden.
Washed and cleaned.
Its tougher stalks are removed.
A bundle that you buy at the store
or if small, two bundles.
Nothing more is taken.
Let us chop this finely
The finely chopped parsley is transferred to a bowl.
Two small pieces of Ginger are chopped.
Ten green chillies.
An onion.
This should also be finely chopped.
Crush the previously chopped onion,
Chillies and ginger together in a blender.
Chickpea is used here.
We soak this the day before and cooked as good.
It is cooked well.
We can mash it with a masher.
It is mashed really well. Let's mix it all up.
Ingredients for this are
the Parsley we have chopped before,
the crushed ginger, green chillies and onion.
With that we can add the mashed Chickpeas.
Half a cup of cooked Bulgur is added to this.
Enough salt.
We have added salt while cooking the bulgur and peas.
So, just a little salt for the rest of the stuff.
Then squeeze the juice of a small lime.
A teaspoon of baking powder.
Now we add some, two tablespoons of
dried Fenugreek leaves to get a flavor.
Falafel with an Indian Twist !
Let's mix it all up.
Then we mix all these ingredients well and shape them
into small balls or small cutlets.
Here it is made in the shape
of a small cutlet with a spoon.
We can freeze this.
Then fry as needed.
Or you can bake them in the oven.
At this time when everyone is looking at healthy food,
let's bake them.
Frying in oil is tastier though.
Falafel is now a very popular item.
This is because of the fact that
it is widely used by vegetarians as well as vegans.
It is also a dish known as a vegan food.
Then our falafel is all rolled up.
Made in the shape of small cutlets.
Now bake it at a temperature of 180 to 200 degrees
for 20 minutes or so.
If not ready, a bit more or until cooked.
Falafel is ready here. Let us have a taste.
Nice, crispy,
tastes of ginger and chillies,
very cool Falafel.
Let's all make some.
Hope everyone love this very simple,
beautiful, and even healthier Falafel and this video.
Also included is a video of making a beautiful salad
called Tabouli, another Mediterranean dish.
Everyone watch and comment on these videos.
Until we see you again
with another innovative video like this,
Goodbye everyone !
