Directions
Remove the skins from the cooked chickpeas by rubbing them with a dish towel.
Place the chickpeas in a food processor and pur?e them.
Add the garlic, baking powder, coriander, cumin, parsley, onions, scallions, and cilantro.
Blend the ingredients together so that a smooth paste is formed.
Add some water if necessary. Let the mixture rest for 30 minutes.
Form the paste into patties that are 2 inch in diameter and ½ inch thick.
In a medium large saucepan place the vegetable oil and heat it on medium high until it is hot.
Add the patties and deep-fry them for 2 to 3 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
Drain them on paper towels.
In each of the pita breads place some of the falafel, tomatoes, lemon juice, and Tahini Sauce.
