      Brothers Green Eats An Arab dish with a mexican twist and you play Indian music in the background? Well that is truly a fusion :D

      actually its not an arab music its an indian arabic music not like that

      Nana Syrian
      Mate, did you even read my comment?
      I said "Arab dish" + "Mexican twist" + "Indian Music"
      I don't see myself saying Arabic music anywhere. Comprehension is important my friend. Next time read before you jump to conclusions.
      PS: "It is" and not "Its"
      It's is a contraction for it is or it has while Its indicates possessive.

    I have a vegan sour cream recipe so I'm going to try making these this weekend. Thanks for the tip. I've always felt something was missing from falafel. Although, as I mentioned to you on another video, once you make falafel with fava you won't go back to making them with chickpeas.

    @dianarengifo9135 7 лет назад

    That looks amazing. The one thing I notice tho, Americans tend to think that Mexican taco means ground beef with lettuce cheese and tomato. But I've had Mexican tacos made by a lot of different Mexican friends and even at Mexican restaurants around my neighborhood (not the chain ones) and they serve their tacos with diced steak/ chicken/ pork cilantro onion and lime. Taco Bell isn't Mexican food... Looks delicious tho I'll give you that

    Mexican Falafel. Plays Bollywood/Indian music...Fusion indeed.
    I often have my falafel with pineapple curry sauce, they offer it here at a Lebanese place. Sounds weird, but it is really worth a try.

    Seriously good video. Falafel is so cheap to make and so freakin' tasty. Plus, the music and the editing for this video = awesome. Really enjoy your videos and the way you break down cooking and shopping for groceries. Quick question, not a fan of black beans, could I use pinto beans or would it mess up the texture?

    • @LifebyMikeG
      @LifebyMikeG  9 лет назад +7

      Caitlin Fox any dried bean should work just fine. The black beans gave it great flavor, almost tasted like a chicken nugget!

    I love what you did there! What I do is just make a salsa out of chiles chipotles, onion and garlic super spicy and instead of sour cream make some milk kefir and let it dry using a coffee filter and a strainer.
    That yogurt you end up with its sooooooo damn delicious with all the othe strong flavors!

    might be a stupid question, but how many black beans and chick peas do I put in the falafels

    • @bobbyadamson2333
      @bobbyadamson2333 8 лет назад +1

      +36shadowboy Tbh it's kind of your own preference. I'd recommend the ratio a little chickpea-heavy so it leans more toward the falafel flavor/texture.

    @runescaper1459 9 лет назад

    as an israeli i have to say you did a nice job, but authentic falafel doesnt have any black beans in it. and you should have made the mix a lot finer than it turned out to be for you. and avocado is the best thing to combine falafel with in a nice peta with hummus tahena and amba ( dont know what amba is called in english but its basically mango juice mixed with a bunch of hurbs) and enoy

    This is AWESOME but it did concern me that not much Mexican spice went in to this. Original falafel has an array of Mediterranean spices like cumin, and I feel that for Mexican falafel, it could have been replaced with maybe chili powder and cayenne for some heat. The sauce looks great though.
