500 grams dried chickpeas
1 bunch of parsley
1 bunch of coriander
1 teaspoon coriander powder
1/2 onion
1 teaspoon baking powder
salt
pepper
4 cloves Garlic
Olive oil
3 teaspoons Tahini
4 teaspoons Yoghurt
3 Lemons
1 teaspoon Salt

Preparation

1 First soak the chickpeas in water for up to 8 hours. Best to do it over night so you don't have to wait for it. 2 When ready, drain the water and begin adding the ingredients above. Apply them roughly because you are going to pulse them to a paste. 3 Add the salt and pepper and place the ingredients in a blender and mix till you have formed a paste. 4 While you are doing this place some vegetable oil, i use sunflower oil, in a pan and get it very hot. 5 Begin shaping your falafel into rounds but make sure you leave the bottoms flat so they can stand up. 6 Place them about 4-5 at a time and let them cook for about 6-8 minutes. You want them to cook all the way through. 7 Serve the falafel with Tahini sauce. 8 For the Tahini sauce: 9 Mix all together and add some water to make it less thick. You want it to be runny consistency.
