Add some flower and roll it in flower before placing ceramics a la carte in the oil.
If you prefer the way it tastes in Jordan, Syria or Israel use chickpeas instead of broad beans. If you re feeling experimental, use a mix of the two for a tasty combination. Add fresh chilly to the mix for additional spice.
Although you will see falafel available in Egypt at breakfast, the deep fried nature ceramics a la carte of this dish can be fairly heavy on more sensitive western stomachs.
