Colm O'Gorman: Here's how to make fresh falafel with Yemeni chilli sauce
Serve your falafel with pittas or some freshly made flatbreads and homemade pickles.
Falafel are a Middle Eastern street food staple. When they are made properly, these deep-fried chickpea fritters are a delight — crispy on the outside, light and beautifully spiced on the inside. I cannot abide the ready-made, shop-bought versions, to be honest. I find they are invariably dense and tasteless.
Freshly made falafel, though, is a world apart, and this recipe is perfect for making your own at home.
