I was severely craving falafel yesterday, but I live in a less falafly country. So I made everything from scratch, including grinding my own tahini (it isn't hard though).
Feta herb yoghurt spread, fresh veg, tahini sauce, a red chili tomato pomegranate molasses kind of raw salsa, herbs and pomegranate seeds.
10/10, in absolute heaven.
(The falafel is 1 cup of soaked chickpeqs. Grind them with 1 spring onion with the green leaves, 1 big handful of herbs (parsley, coriander leaves, dill – what you have), a few garlic cloves, 1 green chili. You dont need to grind it too fine, a little structure is nice.
Season with salt, cumin, coriander, chili powder, black pepper, 2 tbsp of sesame seed. Add a little besan and let the mix rest in the fridge for an hour, it gives better texture. Just before frying, mix in 1/2 tsp of baking powder.
Form into falafel (I make the shape I do because it fries them evenly, it is a common shape) and fry in medium hot oil 4-5 minutes until brown. Turn every now and then.)

That looks amazing
Bravo!! Looks excellent. Good job.
That looks so good!
I’m 2 days post Gallbladder removal surgery, still on mostly bland soft foods. I will be dreaming of this falafel tonight, I can promise you that!!
Incredible! I’m hungry just looking at it.
Why the little thumbprints?
The falafel texture on the inside looks perfect! It looks soft and fluffy, instead of dense and dry like some falafel. Also pomegranate seeds in the wrap is such a fantastic idea
god that looks so good. i might go to the falafel place tomorrow over this
this looks soooo lush are you kidding!! i love the inclusion of pomegranate seeds omg
😍🎉wtf!!
damn that looks good.
That’s seriously beautifully mouthwatering. I admire your devotion to and execution of this.
*”Ohh, ’twas nothing… just ground my own tahini. Very easy…”*
Wth? That’s seriously hardcore! I bow down to you. If I didn’t already have my lunch packed for tomorrow I’d be going out for a falafel less than half as good as this.
Hell, yeah!
Looks sooooo good! Recipe for the feta herb yogurt spread pls?
Oh my god that looks absolutely delicious
I’m jealous AF. That is a level of fancy home cooking I cannot comprehend.
Falafel never disappoints. Crispy outside, soft inside honestly one of the best vegetarian foods out there.
oof I need this
Holy moly, looks mouthwatering good
