Ingredients

Chickpea - 10 oz

Garlic - 4 cloves
Meyer Lemon Juice - 4 spoons
Chopped Sage Leaves - 1 tablespoon
Cilantro - 2 spoons
Mild Chili Spice - 0 oz
Ground Cumin - 2 spoons
Ground coriander - 1 tablespoon
Glutinous Rice Flour - 2 spoons
Vegetable Oil - 2 spoons
Activated Baking Soda - ½ spoons
Sesame bun - 2 spoons
Natural Yogurt - 0 fl oz
Tahini - 0 oz
Herbs - to taste
Salt - to taste

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Soak the chickpeas overnight. In the morning, drain them in a colander and let the excess water drip off for at least half an hour.

Step 2

Chop the onion, three cloves of garlic, and the parsley with cilantro.

Step 3

Blend everything together in a blender, adding two tablespoons of lemon juice.

Step 4

Add the rice flour mixed with baking soda, cumin, chili pepper, and coriander, then pour in two tablespoons of water. Mix well. If time permits, refrigerate the dough for at least half an hour to make it easier to shape the falafel.

Step 5

For the sauce, thoroughly mix the yogurt with tahini, add two tablespoons of lemon juice, a crushed clove of garlic, and season with salt. The sauce should have a consistency similar to that of liquid honey, so if necessary, add more yogurt or tahini.
