Falafel burger recipe made with home made falafel patty from scratch. Served with hummus, Israeli salad and a creamy mayo. With step by step pictures.

I love burgers. I get a burger craving every now and then. The messy dripping, juicy patties, I love it all. This home made falafel burger is dynamite. The falafel patties are air fried using an air fryer and that makes it even healthier too. If you do not have an air fryer, you can shallow fry the patties in oil. The patty is so meaty and really really flavorful. Lets ride into flavor town!

You can find the deep fried Falafel recipe here.

Dump the chickpeas in a large bowl and add 1/2 teaspoon baking soda. Add water till it fills the bowl and let it sit at room temperature overnight for 8-10 hours. The next day, drain.

Chop the greens ( I use coriander leaves, mint leaves and parsley) roughly. Set aside. Add in the rest of the ingredients along with the greens. Basically dump all the ingredients in your mixer. Work in batches if necessary. You need to grind the mixture to a slightly coarse paste. Do not add any water while grinding. For every pulse in your mixer, open the jar and slightly mix everything so the mixture gets ground evenly. Resist your urge to add water. Once you feel that the mixture has become a coarse paste, Set aside. The coarse texture is important for this recipe.

Make a 3-4 inch patties out of the mixture and place it in the air fryer. Set the timer for 15 minutes and fry the patties at 200 degrees Celsius temperature. Fry in batches. Do not over crowd the air fryer. Set aside.
You know what? We did not use even a smidgen of oil for frying the patties. Isn’t that great. The patties turn out crispy and crunchy and go so well inside the burgers.

You can shallow fry the patties if you do not have an air fryer.

    Me and my husband used to visit this Lebmex restaurant in Koramangala where we always have pita bread with falafel and hummus! After the place got closed, its been years we had falafel. Thanks to your recipe we were able to have the creamiest hummus i ever had and the best falafel, marriage made in heaven. Another keeper from your blog 🙂

    This turned out great ! Thank you for the simple recipe.

    I heard about your website from a friend who recommended saying “She makes it look so easy.”

    And yes, you do ! The detailed , step-by-step approach makes it so much easier for amateur cooks to follow , execute and look like Pros 🙂

    I and TH went shopping for the Chana and Extra Virgin Olive Oil just to prepare this and consume ! That’s the madness we were driven to !!

    Great Site.

    TH*: The husband

    ~~ Cheers
