If you prepare from dried chickpeas, you need to let them soak in water overnight and then cook them covered in salted water during 2 hours, or until they are tender.
Put all the falafel ingredients except the flour for coating and the oil through a blender. Form into 1-in balls, coat with the flour, and sauté in the oil until they take color.
Serve in pita breads with the cut vegetables and some tahini.
