In continuation of my earlier post , I have prepared some falafel and tahini sauce to have with the pita bread. Falafel is basically a mediterranean dish made with chickpeas n used extensively to stuff pitas. I had bookmarked this recipe of falafel and tahini sauce from manjulas kitchen and at last this weekend I got a chance to prepare it. Tahini sauce is also very healthy as it has sesame and parsley. We enjoyed it a lot, it was new to me which made it more fun.

Falafel Ingredients:
1 cup chickpeas (soaked overnight, pressure cooked with 1 whistle and 3 min)1/4 cup all purpose flour2 tbsp cilantro2 tbsp parsley1 green chilli1 tsp cumin seeds1 tsp chilli flakes1/2 inch gingeroil for deep frysalt to taste
