To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:

For the Falafels:

- 2 cups of cooked chickpeas
- 1/2 cup of chopped parsley
- 1/2 cup of chopped cilantro
- 1/2 cup of chopped onion
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon of ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon of ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
- 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- Vegetable oil for frying

For the Yogurt-Dill Sauce:

- 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup of chopped fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
To make the falafels, start by combining the chickpeas, parsley, cilantro, onion, garlic, cumin, coriander, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is well combined but still slightly chunky. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the flour and baking powder.
Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, form the chickpea mixture into small balls and flatten slightly. Fry the falafels in the hot oil until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
To make the yogurt-dill sauce, simply whisk together the yogurt, dill, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
Serve the falafels hot with the yogurt-dill sauce on the side. This dish is perfect as an appetizer or a main course, and is sure to impress your guests with its delicious flavors and beautiful appearance.
