Method
-
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
Pulse with the herbs, onion, garlic, cumin, baking powder and salt until it holds together when squeezed.
-
3
Shape into small flat patties and shallow-fry in hot oil in batches, turning once, until deep golden and cooked through.
-
4
Drain on a rack and serve with the tahini, thinned with a little water.
