Preparation Steps
1
Soak the chickpeas in cold water for at least 12 hours, then drain well.
2
In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, onion, garlic, parsley, and cilantro. Add the cumin, baking powder, and salt. Process until smooth, but still slightly chunky.
3
Shape the mixture into small balls or flat patties, then place them on a tray. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
4
Heat oil in a deep saucepan or deep fryer. Fry the falafel in batches until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
5
Meanwhile, prepare the pita bread: warm it in the oven or a skillet until soft.
6
Fill the pita with fresh vegetables (such as sliced tomato and cucumber), then add 3-4 falafel pieces. Drizzle with tahini sauce and serve immediately.
