Fresh falafel dough like from the Arab mom?
A comedian presents this product in the new season "The Lion's Den".
The Lion's Den is back!
The 12th season of the entertainment show starts on Monday, August 29, 2022 at 8:15 p.m. on Vox and RTL+.
There is a change in season 12: Ralf Dümmel and Georg Kofler will share a seat on the sofa from next Monday, because the new lion duo will invest as a team from now on.
Making falafel yourself takes time: more and more ready-made mixes are on the market
Falafel have been a popular oriental dish in Germany for many years.
The chickpea balls, for example, are a good meat alternative in the kebab or Dürüm.
However, you need a little patience to make them yourself: dried chickpeas must first be soaked in water for at least eight hours.
So nothing with spontaneous enjoyment.
In order to remedy this situation, more and more suppliers are bringing ready-made products onto the market with which you can make falafel yourself quickly and easily at home.
In most cases, these are dry mixtures, which you then mix with boiling water and allow to swell for a short time.
With "Mama's Falafel Dough", Amjad Abu Hamid presents a fresh mix of falafel dough.
He is hoping for an investment of 51,000 euros for 15 percent of the shares in his company.

"The Lion's Den" (Vox): "Mama's falafel dough" as a fresh mix
However, the stand-up comedian Amjad Abu Hamid (34) would like to bring an alternative to the dry mixes onto the market and will present his product "Mamas Falafelteig" to the lions on Monday.
The comedian loves good food and his mother's falafel are said to be some of the best.
This is how the idea for "Mama's Falafel Dough" was born, which makes it possible to spontaneously prepare fresh falafel according to his mother's original traditional recipe.
It's a frozen 750g bag that you need to defrost, then shape into balls and then fry, pan fry or cook in the oven.
"The dough is free of additives, vegan, gluten-free and, thanks to the chickpeas, a real protein bomb," says Hamid.
With "Mama's falafel dough" he certainly meets the taste of the lions, but will they also take advantage of his deal offer?
Amjad Abu Hamid offers 15 percent of the company shares for 51,000 euros.
You can find out whether he gets the deal on Monday evening at 8:15 p.m. on Vox or RTL+.
