Ingredients You need
  • 250 g chickpeas (soaked over night is water, cover dried chickpeas with water plus two thirds)
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • handful of parsley
  • handful of coriander
  • 1 chilli , chopped (optional, can also use powder)
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • ¾ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp coriander
  • 1 ltr vegetable oil (for frying)
  • salt / pepper (optional)
  • blender or food processor
  • bowls
  • spoon
  • tray
  • slotted spoon
  • saucepan or wok
  • paper towel (for drying the balls on)

Instructions

  1. Drain and purée drained chickpea until they are like breadcrumb like mixture.
  2. Add the rest of ingredients Introduce the parsley, coriander, chilli, garlic and blend until well combined.
  3. Then add the flour, the cumin, coriander (ground or seeds), the baking soda and about one and salt to taste and. Finally, add some pepper. Combine it all together thoroughly with a spoon. If it looks too dry, a few drops of water (say from the draining, but be very careful, it is supposed to be dry ish)
  4. Put the oil on
  5. Make the Falafel balls: Take a small amount of the blended mixture in your fingertips and mould into small balls (should be as big as a five rand coin). Then place onto a baking tray. Kept covered, this mixture will keep for one day in the fridge.
  6. Fry the Falafel balls: Individually, spoon half the batch of falafel balls into the oil. Allow to fry for 2 minutes until golden brown, stirring with the slotted spoon, so they brown evenly. Remove and drain on a tray prepared with some kitchen towel. Now repeat the process with the remaining falafel balls.

Bitcoin / Cryptocurrency – what is it and how can I benefit

What is it I started investigating Bitcoin when it was worth just over $1000 a bitcoin. I was interested in what it was and how it worked. A lot of people are saying we missed the boat, but I believe that everyone should at least try put a little money in now, or at least use a faucet (see below) to make a little micro-currency. You can read a Wiki article about bitcoin and its history etc. But what you need to know is that it is a currency, that is independent of country. No one really knows who invented the concept of a cryptocurrency since the person who published the paper used a nom de plume. All new cryptocurrencies work more or less the same way as Bitcoin. So as I explain below I interchange these terms. Bitcoin is the original cryptocurrency. How Bitcoin works The currency releases a coin based on a mathematical formula. There will never be more than 21 million bitcoins (other cryptocurrencies do not work like this). Each bitcoin can have divided into one hundred mil...

Access conversion NOTE1: default DateSerial in VBA/Access to SQL

I have started slowly converting my Access database to SQL. The reason is that I would like to take the application online. After trying to use Access's (version 2007) transfer tool, which did not work that well. I found Microsoft's SQL Migration Assistant 2008 for Access, nicknamed SSMA. Which you can download here . When you install there is a niggle about the license, which you need to download into their specified directory and it must be the name they provide. So about the create table. My one table would not convert and I could not see why. After looking at the SQL command I saw the problem was the use of DateSerial. I googled a few sites and could not find an answer The CREATE TABLE line was: [RequireUntilDate] datetime2(0) DEFAULT DateSerial(1980,1,1) NOT NULL, I clicked on the whole command and copied it and then in SQL Server Management Studio, I tried to create the table and found that if I specified the date in US date format it worked: [RequireUnti...
