3. Either you choose to fry it immediately or after being stored in the freezer, add a pinch of baking powder (according to the amount u have) and stir it thoroughly with a fork to get more air into it, then deep fry in a hot oil (test it by putting one drop of the dough), then lower the heat a little bit to be fully cooked from inside without getting burnt from outside

Instead, you need peeled, large fava beans. The Arabic word taameya translates to "tasty little bits." This version, made with fava beans, which are plentiful in the Nile delta, is thought by some to be the original falafel. (Recipe adapted from Zooba Restaurant.) The less disputed origin goes back to the Copts (Christians of Egypt) who used to eat falafel during Lent, a period during which it is forbidden to eat meat. Moreover, the word falafel comes from pha la phel (Φα Λα Φελ) which means "of more beans." Other versions attribute this recipe to the Pharaonic Era of Egypt and even India. Falafel is a big deal in New York City. So far, though, the only falafel I seemed to find was the Palestinian/Israeli version.
