Falafel

Falafel is a kind of Arabic food. It is a deep-fried ball or patty made from ground chickpeas, fava beans, or both. Spices are added to these. Falafel is either made into a ball, or a disc, which is then fried. The dish originally came from Egypt.^[1][2] Today, it is a popular form of fast food in the Middle East, where it is also served as a mezze. In Israel it is served as street food.^[3]
