Begin by draining and rinsing the chickpeas thoroughly.

In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, onion, garlic, parsley, cilantro, cumin, coriander, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Pulse until the mixture is coarse but holds together.

Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the breadcrumbs.

Using your hands, form the mixture into small balls or patties.

In a frying pan or deep fryer, heat about an inch of oil over medium heat.

Carefully add the falafel to the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Use a slotted spoon to remove the falafel and place them on a paper towel-lined plate.

Place the warm falafel in pita bread and add your favorite toppings like lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, and a drizzle of tahini sauce.
