Traditionally falafels don't use gram flour dip in batters and they are fried just like that , but I tend u dip it in gram flour batter and fry as they don't soak up lot of oil and the outer batter is absolutely lip smacking!...So do try this and leave in Ur feedback I have already tried  4-5 times and simply loved it everytime i took a bite:)
