The ball-shaped wonder is made out of chickpeas or fava beans, and is deep fried to create a crunchy mouthful of deliciousness. Falafel is a versatile dish that can be turned into sandwiches, added to salads or just eaten plain. The origins of the dish are unclear, as the way falafel is made depends on the choice of ingredients and the country in which they are made in, however, there are two popular theories for how the dish was popularised. The first is that falafel was brought by Copt Christians who moved to Egypt, over 1,000 years ago, while the second theory is that they came from India in the 6th century. After the British conquered Egypt in 1882, the army liked fried croquettes from India, and asked Egyptians to use local ingredients to create a version of the dish, which led to falafel. Here are some great places Connector has come up with to enjoy the crunchy, deepfried treats, that are perfect for a quick bite or as an accompaniment to a meal.
