Lightly spiced coriander falafels

These falafels are lightly spiced with cumin and coriander so they are not very strong but they do taste delicious with houmous (hummus- does anyone ever know how to spell it?!) 

Ingredients: 
-1 can of chickpeas drained (drained weight around 248g). 
-1/2 tsp ground cumin.
-1/2 tsp ground coriander.
-1/2 tsp cayenne pepper.
-small bunch of fresh coriander.
You can use more or less spice. 
-1 large or a couple of small garlic cloves. 
-50g chopped onion. 
-2tbs wholemeal flour (around 17g). 

These are so simple to make, all you have to do is pop everything in a food processor leaving the onions and coriander until last as you don't want them to be as smooth as the rest of the falafel. Once you have done this shape them in to what ever shape you want I once made them into little hearts!. I usually freeze them at this stage and then take them out if the freezer a couple at a time and bake from frozen. You can also cook them straight away instead of freezing by frying in a little bit of oil for a couple of minuets each side or baking them for around 25 mins oven 200'c until golden brown.
