Steps:
- (One day in advance) Place the dried chickpeas and baking soda in a large bowl filled with water to cover the chickpeas by at least 2 inches. Soak overnight for 18 hours (longer if the chickpeas are still too hard). When ready, drain the chickpeas completely and pat them dry.
- Add the chickpeas, herbs, onions, garlic and spices to the large bowl of a food processor fitted with a blade. Run the food processor 40 seconds at a time until all is well combined forming a the falafel mixture.
- Transfer the falafel mixture to a container and cover tightly. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or (up to one whole night) until ready to cook.
- Just before frying, add the baking powder and sesame seeds to the falafel mixture and stir with a spoon.
- Scoop tablespoonfuls of the falafel mixture and form into patties (1/2 inch in thickness each). It helps to have wet hands as you form the patties.
- Fill a medium saucepan 3 inches up with oil. Heat the oil on medium-high until it bubbles softly. Carefully drop the falafel patties in the oil, let them fry for about 3 to 5 minutes or so until crispy and medium brown on the outside. Avoid crowding the falafel in the saucepan, fry them in batches if necessary.
- Place the fried falafel patties in a colander or plate lined with paper towels to drain.
- Serve falafel hot next to other small plates; or assemble the falafel patties in pita bread with tahini or hummus, arugula, tomato and cucumbers. Enjoy!

- In a food processor, combine the drained chickpeas, garlic, herbs, and onion. Puree these ingredients, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed, until everything is broken down.
- Transfer the mixture to a large bowl, and sprinkle in the chickpea flour, baking powder, ground coriander, cumin, 3/4 teaspoon sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Using a spatula, toss to combine everything evenly. Chill the mixture in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
- When ready to bake the falafel, pour enough oil in a large rimmed baking sheet to coat the bottom. Using your hands, form the falafel mixture into about 14 patties, about 2 inches in diameter, and arrange in the baking sheet in a single layer, spacing the patties at least an inch apart. (If the patties aren't holding together well, mix a few tablespoons more chickpea flour into the dough.)
