9 ingredients
3 steps

Ingredients

  • 800 g drained canned chick-peas
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • 2 tablespoons fresh coriander, chopped (cilantro)
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 fresh green chile, deseeded and finely chopped
  • oil (for frying)
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • salad leaves
  • 4 pita breads, to serve

Directions

  1. 1
    Mash the chickpeas or puree coarsely in a food processor. Mix with the cumin, coriander, garlic and chilli. Season and divide into 24 pieces of equal size. Shape each piece into a ball.
  2. 2
    Heat a little oil in a frying pan and cook the balls for approximately 6 minutes each or until crisp and golden. This will probably have to be done in batches unless you have a huge pan!
  3. 3
    Toast the pitta breads and slit the tops. Fill with the falafel and salad leaves, spoon a little yogurt on to the top too.
