To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:

For the Falafel:

- 1 can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup of fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 cup of fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 teaspoon of ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon of ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1/4 cup of flour
- 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder
- Oil for frying

For the Mango Chutney:

- 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
- 1/4 cup of red onion, chopped
- 1/4 cup of red bell pepper, chopped
- 1/4 cup of white vinegar
- 1/4 cup of brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
To make the falafel, start by combining the chickpeas, onion, garlic, parsley, cilantro, cumin, coriander, turmeric, salt, and pepper in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is well combined but still slightly chunky. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the flour and baking powder.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, form the falafel mixture into small balls and place them in the hot oil. Fry the falafel for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove the falafel from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
To make the mango chutney, combine the mango, red onion, red bell pepper, vinegar, brown sugar, ginger, cinnamon, and salt in a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the chutney has thickened and the mango is soft.
To serve, place the falafel on a plate and spoon the mango chutney over the top. Garnish with additional chopped parsley or cilantro, if desired.
This Curry-Spiced Falafel with Mango Chutney is a perfect combination of sweet and savory flavors. The falafel is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, while the mango chutney adds a tangy and sweet flavor to the dish. This dish is perfect for a light lunch or dinner and is sure to impress your guests.
