COOKING INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Soak chickpeas overnight. In the morning, put it in a colander, let the water drain – this takes at least half an hour.

Blender

4. Add rice flour mixed with soda, cumin, hot pepper and coriander, pour in two tablespoons of water. Mix. If you have time, put the dough in the refrigerator for at least half an hour – so that the falafel is easier to mold.

5. For the sauce, thoroughly mix yogurt with tahini, add two tablespoons of lemon juice, crushed garlic clove, salt. The consistency of the sauce should resemble liquid honey – so if necessary, add yogurt or tahini.

6. With wet hands, mold the dough into small and very dense balls (each weighing about 25 g). Sprinkle them with sesame seeds.

7. Heat the pan with oil to 180 degrees. Fry the falafel for about two minutes on each side. Place on paper towel to drain excess oil.

TOOL:
Aluminum frying pan

8. Serve with yogurt-tahini sauce.
