What is Falafel?

This is a Mediterranean dish with mashed chickpea flavored with some spices and served with pita bread or enjoyed with hummus.

When one hears Mediterranean dish instance thought comes to our mind is non veg, yes but this particular dish is vegetarian ,so be happy.

It usually gets difficult for pure vegetarian people like me to eat while traveling abroad , falafel are savour for us.

Nutrition level is high on falafel for chickpea being the main ingredient here. Falafel is served with pita bread but you can have them with your favorite dip also. Middle East countries do have some awesome cuisine, which we can include in our daily cooking.

Furthermore you can even use your regular roti and stuff falafel with the given curd mixture and chutney, one of the best lunch box recipe to pack for your kids or for office.
