Soak chick peas in water over night. Drain well and blend it in a food processor till coarsely grind. Keep aside. Add onion, garlic, cilantro and spices: coriander powder, chili powder, cumin powder, pepper in a food processor and blend well. In a bowl, combine together blended chick peas and cilantro paste. Add bread crumbs and salt. Mix well. Mean while heat oil in a frying pan. Take small balls from falafel mixture, make falafel shape and deep fry till both sides become medium brown color.

 I used a table spoon to get the falafel shape. Apply little oil on spoon, put mixture on spoon, mould a spoon shape, drop on other hand and drop it on oil for frying.
