Drain and rinse the soaked chickpeas.

In a food processor, combine chickpeas, onion, garlic, parsley, cilantro, cumin, coriander, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Pulse until a coarse mixture forms.

Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Form the mixture into small balls or patties.

Heat oil in a frying pan or deep fryer over medium heat.

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

Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Serve hot with your favorite sauce, pita, or salad.
