Method

(1) Make up the falafel mix following packet directions. Divide falafel mixture into 8 equal portions and shape into 5cm patties. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over high heat. Add the patties and cook for 4-5 minutes each side or until golden. Transfer patties to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
