Time 27m

Yield 4 pitta pockets, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

800 g drained canned chick-peas
2 teaspoons cumin
2 tablespoons fresh coriander, chopped (cilantro)
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 fresh green chile, deseeded and finely chopped
oil (for frying)
1 cup Greek yogurt
salad leaves
4 pita breads, to serve

Steps:

  • Mash the chickpeas or puree coarsely in a food processor. Mix with the cumin, coriander, garlic and chilli. Season and divide into 24 pieces of equal size. Shape each piece into a ball.
  • Heat a little oil in a frying pan and cook the balls for approximately 6 minutes each or until crisp and golden. This will probably have to be done in batches unless you have a huge pan!
  • Toast the pitta breads and slit the tops. Fill with the falafel and salad leaves, spoon a little yogurt on to the top too.
