Made it and it simply fell apart in the oil or the inside raw!

Oh no! That’s so frustrating.
Try to form the falafel balls gently, and if your mixture isn't holding together, pulse it more in the food processor until it sticks together. It can also be because the temperature of the oil is too high for frying.

i LOVE this recipe. I followed it exactly the first time, even though it was the first time i made it with sliced bread. It was so perfect and soft and crispy!
