    Method

    1. 1

      Soak the chickpeas overnight in plenty of water. Drain and pat them dry. Don't use tinned: they make falafel that falls apart.

    2. 2

      Pulse with the herbs, onion, garlic, cumin, baking powder and salt until it holds together when squeezed.

    3. 3

      Shape into small flat patties and shallow-fry in hot oil in batches, turning once, until deep golden and cooked through.

    4. 4

      Drain on a rack and serve with the tahini, thinned with a little water.
