See shipping detailsThe flagship Spice Czar falafel mix: classic chickpea, cumin, coriander, garlic and herb flavor in a convenient complete dry mix.
Flavor & cooking character
Earthy chickpea, warm cumin and coriander, fresh-herb character, savory garlic and onion, with a clean peppery finish.
The classic flavor is a useful baseline for comparing the rest of the falafel range. Prepare one batch without extra spices, then adjust the toppings instead. Keep pieces a similar size and follow the stated hydration rest so the mixture has time to absorb the water before shaping.
What to cook
Falafel sandwiches, pita pockets, mezze platters, grain bowls, salads, wraps, appetizer plates and vegetarian mains.
How much to use & when to add it
Use the complete-mix preparation directions below.
Complete-mix preparation
8 oz pouch: Add 1 cup cold water.
1 lb pouch: Add 2 cups cold water.
Mix well, let rest for 20 minutes, form into balls or patties, then cook using the directions on your package.
No soaking. No chopping. No measuring spices.
Use the water amount for your pouch size. For a smaller portion, follow the package’s portion instructions rather than guessing by volume.
Kitchen idea: Classic Czar pita plate
Prepare and cook the mix by its package directions. Serve with warm pita, cucumber, tomato, parsley and a suitable tahini or yogurt sauce. Keep wet toppings separate until eating, and use lemon or pickles as an adjustable bright finish.
Culinary background
Falafel’s exact origin is debated, with historical evidence often pointing toward Egypt. Fava-bean and chickpea versions belong to different regional traditions. Spice Czar’s flavored mixes are contemporary variations within that broader food category.
