Easy Falafel In Pita Bread Recipe

ABBEY: I met these vegetarian balls when we ordered on one of the Middle Eastern-restaurant at Clarke Quay. It made to the list of our weekly menu. Preparation will take time more than cooking. But all worth it.

Ingredients:

1 cup of dried chickpeas (soaked for 24 hours)

1 cup fresh parsley 

1 cup fresh cilantro or coriander

2 tsp coriander seeds

2 tsp cumin seeds

2 tbsp flour

1/2 tsp baking soda

1 tsp lemon juice

Salt and Cayenne pepper to taste

Pita bread

Sautéd onions

Yogurt sauce

200 ml yogurt

1 clove garlic (minced)

Salt and pepper

Toast coriander and cumin seeds and grind it. Mix all the remaining falafel ingredients in a food processor and have it to almost a paste. The texture will really depend on you if you want it chunky or not.

Put the mixture in the fridge for about an hour.

While waiting, mix all the ingredients for yogurt sauce and put in fridge.

Make falafel balls and fry them. You can also shape them as cakes.

Fill in your pita bread with falafel, onions and yogurt sauce. Enjoy.

VERDICT
WILL: Falafel was at my list since last year. And just last week, we got to remember to have it. As usual, Abbey had done the cooking. Hehe. 

It is amazingly delicious and to know that the main ingredient is a chickpea! Protein and fiber overload! Falafel top with caramelized onion and lemon-spiked yogurt! Yum! Do not forget the soft but chewy texture of pita bread! It is indeed a fulfilling, healthy and happy meal! 

This will be a healthy and cheap option for your diet!
