I'm trying to eat more beans as I eat less meat and making them from scratch is not an option. Pre-cooked beans are very hard to find where I live apart for chickpeas apparently.

Pre-cooked chickpeas are going to be too soft for falafel unless you add a lot of binders; otherwise they'll fall apart in the fryer. Soaked (but raw) chickpeas are the usual method.

I have had great luck with this recipe: https://www.themediterraneandish.com/how-to-make-falafel/#tasty-recipes-10436-jump-target
