Do you believe dried beans are healthier than chick peas?

I do this one. Amazing every time!
1 pound (about 2 cups) dry chickpeas (aka garbanzo beans)
1 small onion chopped
1/2 cup fresh parsley, tightly packed
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, tightly packed
5 garlic cloves
1 1/2 tablespoons flour
3 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons cumin
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
oil, for frying
1. Place chickpeas in large bowl and cover with plenty of water. Let the chickpeas soak overnight, or for at least 12 hours. They will double in size as they soak. Once soaked, rinse and drain well in colander.
2. Place onion, herbs and garlic in bowl of a food processor fitted with the knife blade. pulse a few times until mixture starts coming together. Add the drained chickpeas and the rest of the ingredients. Pulse together until a rough, coarse texture forms. Scrape the sides of the food processor down from time to time. Be careful not to over-process the mixture; you are looking to achieve a consistency that's somewhere between a paste and a fine crumb. Once it holds together enough to form a ball, stop.
3. Place mixture inside a bowl and run your hand through it, feeling for any larger pieces that the food processor might have missed, and mash them. Cover and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight.
4. Place about 2 inches of oil in a saucepan over medium-low heat (the ideal temperature is 300 F to 325 F) Before frying a batch of falafel balls, you want to test one. If the oil is at the right temperature it will take 2-3 minutes per side to brown. If it browns faster than that means your oil is too hot and your falafel balls won't be fully cooked in the center. Also, if your falafel ball falls apart in the oil, add some flour to the batter and make sure it is ground finely enough.
5. Once you tested and achieved the right oil temperature, roll falafel mixture into balls and fry until golden, a total of 5-6 minutes. Serve immediately with some techina or inside a pita with israeli salad, chatzilim, sauerkraut and pickles..even fries if you like.
Enjoy
Yield Approximately 35 falafel balls

I have a similar recipe & definitely bake the balls - spray or brush oil on them before baking.
If you can’t get fresh herbs, you can use dry. The balls will come out great, but the flavor of the fresh herbs is definitely a plus.
