In a food processor, place the chickpeas, red onions, parsley, cilantro, garlic, and Marrakech spice blend, baking powder, flour and salt. Process until you get an even fully incorporated mixture.
Form the chickpea mixture into balls. Your falafels need to be free of moisture. If they seem damp, roll them in flour till fully coated
In a pan, heat 3 inches of oil to 375ºF and fry the falafel balls to golden brown.
Drain on paper yield and serve as a side dish, add to buddha bowls, or just enjoy as a snack!
