Ingredients
  

1 cup dried chickpeas (soaked overnight)

1 small onion, roughly chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon ground coriander

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Vegetable oil for frying

For the Tahini Sauce:

1/2 cup tahini

1/4 cup water (adjust for consistency)

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 garlic clove, minced

Salt to taste

Instructions
 

In a blender or food processor, combine the soaked chickpeas, onion, garlic, parsley, cilantro, cumin, coriander, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Blend until you achieve a coarse paste—avoid over-blending.

    Transfer the falafel mixture to a bowl and let it rest in the fridge for about 30 minutes to firm up.

      Meanwhile, prepare the tahini sauce: In a bowl, whisk together tahini, water, lemon juice, minced garlic, and salt. Adjust the water until you get your desired sauce consistency. Set aside.

        Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium heat. Using your hands or a small scoop, form the falafel mixture into small balls or patties.

          Carefully place the falafel in the hot oil (don’t overcrowd) and fry until golden brown and crisp, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

            To assemble your bowl, place a handful of leafy greens (like arugula or spinach) at the base.

              Add 3-4 falafel to the bowl, drizzle with tahini sauce, and garnish with cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds if you like.

                Enjoy your vibrant bowl of falafel with tahini sauce!
