You did not follow Jamie Oliver's recipe. You changed most of it.

Falafel is mainly about the crispness of the outside and the fluffiness of the inside and this is hard to achieve using canned chickpeas, and I think you should’ve added half a tablespoon of flour caused you halved the amount of chickpeas but I’m sure even Jamie’s recipe isn’t great for falafel anyway, but thanks for the video

If you make half of a recipe, you need to make sure you cut ALL of the ingredients in half.

I'm not middle Eastern so by no means an expert, but because Jamie used cooked canned chickpeas, blending them made it into a paste which affects the mouth feel. "traditional felafels" use soaked dried beans which are uncooked, so when you blend that you get that crumbly texture vs the homogenised paste you get from canned beans. But then again, soaking beans takes 8hrs and Jamie wanted to show a quick method that gets you most of the way there. No one did anything wrong though!

USING 1 CAN OF CHICKPEAS SERIOULY CHANGED THE RECIPE. PERHAPS HALF THE WHOLE RECIPE THEN DOING THE RECIPE TWICE DUE TO YOUR SMALL PROCESSOR BOWL.
