1/2 cup olive oil
5 cloves garlic
1-inch gingerroot, minced
1 teaspoon rosemary
1 teaspoon chives
1 1/2 teaspoons thyme
3 pieces of brown bread
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 teaspoon red chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin

1
Finely chop the ginger and garlic and place in small bowl. Add in the fresh thyme, rosemary, chives, salt, turmeric, chilli powder and cumin to the bowl and mix well. In a grinder pulse 2 slices of bread until they're crumbs. Mix the bread crumbs, mashed chickpeas and garlic mixtures together.

Heat a little oil in a frying pan, fry each falafel on low to medium heat for 8 minutes or until golden brown on both sides.
