Homemade falafel is easier than you think! This is second time we had it in a week. It's easy and tasty.
Homemade falafels and tahini sauce
For Falafels:
1 cup dried chickpeas, soaked overnight (>12hs)
1/2 cup roughly chopped onion (~1/2 large onion)
a big bunch of coriander (or parsley or a mix)
3 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon of ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon of middle eastern spice mix (any type you have in the house), or 1/2 tsp of ground coriander
1 teaspoon of salt
2-3 tablespoons flour
Grind everything together to form a coarse paste. If the mixture is too wet (i.e. can't form a ball after gentle squeezing), add more flour to the mix. Rest the mixture in the fridge for an hour. Shape into a size of ping-pong ball and fry for 2-3 minutes.
For Tahini Sauce:
1/3 cup of tahini paste
1.5 cup of plain yogurt
zest from 1 lemon
juice from 1/2 lemon
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp ground cumin
1 tablespoon of sugar
Mix everything in a bowl and rest in the fridge for 30 minutes or until serving.
