Question: Does authentic falafel have onion and coriander!?
I know cumin, garlic, parsley, cilantro, chick peas, salt and pepper are key, but are onion and coriander required!? I have had repeated arguments over this!.!.!.please helpWww@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Cilantro is the same thing as coriander; cilantro is the Spanish word for coriander and coriander is the same genus as parsley, although the flavor is different!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I have a couple Middle Eastern cookbooks and none of them ever call for either!. All the ingredients you list, yes, I have never heard of the ones you question though! Who is arguing with you!? Maybe its a variation from a small area of some sort!. It would be interesting to know!.

Claudia Rode has a wonderful bunch of ME cookbooks out!. My fav is, "A Book of ME Cooking", very old, great basic ME cooking!. Coriander is not even in the index!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
