📝 Preparation Steps
1
For the tahini yogurt sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the yogurt, tahini, lemon juice, oil, chopped cilantro, chopped parsley, salt, garlic powder, black pepper, and 3 tablespoons of water until smooth and well combined. Add more water as necessary, 1 teaspoon at a time, to achieve a pourable consistency. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
2
For the falafel: To a food processor, add the cilantro, parsley, flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, cumin, cayenne pepper, garlic, and onion. Process the mixture until very finely chopped and well combined, about ⏱️ 10 seconds, scraping the bottom and sides of the food processor with a rubber spatula. Add the chickpeas and process until the mixture is almost smooth.
