Recipe:

Tahini Garlic Sauce (quick)

• 1/2 cup tahini
• 2–3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 1 small garlic clove, crushed (or ½–1 tsp garlic paste)
• 3–4 tbsp cold water (add gradually to desired consistency)
• Salt to taste
• Chopped parsley (optional)

Method

1. Soak chickpeas. Cover dried chickpeas with plenty of cold water and soak 12–24 hours in the fridge (they will expand). Drain and rinse well. Pat dry with paper towels — excess water makes mixture too wet.
2. Pulse the base. In a food processor, add chickpeas in batches. Pulse to a coarse crumb — you want grainy texture, not a smooth paste. Combine all processed chickpeas in the processor bowl.
3. Add aromatics. Add parsley, cilantro, onion and garlic to the processor with the chickpeas. Pulse until mixture comes together but still has noticeable texture (coarse sand / slightly sticky). Stop before it becomes smooth like hummus.
4. Season & bind. Transfer to a bowl. Stir in cumin, coriander, salt, pepper, cayenne, baking powder, and flour. If using sesame, mix now. Press a small amount together — it should hold its shape. If too loose, add 1 tbsp flour at a time.
5. Chill to firm. Cover and refrigerate 30–60 minutes. Chilling helps the mixture bind so the snacks don’t fall apart during frying.
6. Shape. Use a small cookie/ice-cream scoop or tablespoon to portion. For snack size, make balls about 1 to 1¼ inches (golf-ball sized) and gently flatten into a thick patty. Wet your hands slightly to prevent sticking.
7. Heat oil. Heat oil in a deep pan or Dutch oven to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer if you have one. Oil should be deep enough to almost cover the falafel.
8. Fry. Fry in small batches (don’t overcrowd) 3–4 minutes until deep golden brown, turning occasionally. Remove to a wire rack or paper towel. For extra crispness (fast-food technique), you can double-fry: first fry at 320°F (160°C) until set (about 2 min), drain; then bring oil to 375°F (190°C) and fry 30–60 sec to deepen color and crisp.
9. Serve. Serve hot with tahini garlic sauce, pickled vegetables, chopped tomato, cucumber or inside mini pitas/wraps.

Tahini Garlic Sauce

1. In a bowl, whisk tahini + lemon juice until thick.
2. Add crushed garlic and a pinch of salt.
3. Whisk in cold water 1 tbsp at a time until smooth and pourable. Finish with chopped parsley if desired.

Oven-Baked option (if you must)

• Preheat to 190°C / 375°F. Arrange shaped falafel on an oiled sheet, spray or brush lightly with oil. Bake 18–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden. Finish 1–2 minutes under broiler for better crust. Note: fried is much crisper.

Tips & troubleshooting

• Never use canned chickpeas — they’re too soft and make a paste rather than a coarse mixture.
• Don’t over-process — stop when you can press the mixture and it holds.
• If mixture falls apart when frying, add 1–2 tbsp more flour or a tablespoon of chickpea flour and chill again.
• For restaurant-style crispness, keep oil hot and fry in small batches. Double-frying produces excellent texture.
• Flavor variations: add a little ground toasted cumin, a pinch of baking soda (instead of powder) for a different crumb, or a teaspoon of sesame oil for aroma (small amount only).

Storage

• Unfried mixture: refrigerate up to 24 hours (best used same day).
• Cooked falafel: keep in fridge 2–3 days; reheat in oven to crisp. Falafel can be frozen (tray-freeze then bag) and reheated from frozen in hot oven.
