Process all ingredients (except flour, baking powder) in a food processor until coarse but not pureed. Add flour and pulse until combined.
Transfer to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
Prior to pan-frying, bring mixture to room temperature.
Sprinkle baking powder into falafel mixture and mix well.
Create individual round or flattened patties of chickpea mixture (approximately a heaped tablespoon in size).
Heat oil in a wok or pan and fry one ball to test your falafel mixture. If the patty falls apart, add a little more flour.
Fry about 6 to 10 patties per batch, flipping sides, until golden brown. Drain on a paper-towel lined platter.
Serve warm or freeze for later use.
