ABOUT Just Falafel RECIPE

Falafels are very popular Middle Eastern snacks which can be either had as an appetizer with hummus or as a main course inside pita breads and salads. They can also be wrapped in parathas for a super wrap meal. Try serving them with some green chutney instead, a la Indian style. I sometimes make Indian chaat / Falafel Kadhi / Kofta Curry with the leftover falafels.
