Falafel
Tzatziki Sauce
Put chickpeas in a bowl and fill with water, about 3” over the top surface of the chickpeas. Soak for 24 hours.
Preheat oven to 375°F and lightly grease a baking sheet, or use an air fryer.
Place all ingredients - soaked chickpeas, cauliflower, onion, parsley, cilantro, minced garlic, turmeric, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, pepper and cayenne pepper - in a food processor and pulse until finely minced. Do not over-pulse - the mixture should be coarse/paste-y.
Use your hands or a cookie scoop to shape falafel mixture into small balls or patties and place in air fryer basket or prepared baking sheet.
Air fry at 350°F for about 15 minutes, or Bake for 25 minutes, flipping half way, until golden brown and crisp. See notes for frying.
Combine all ingredients for sauce in a bowl.
Serve falafel with the cool sauce and a warm pita!
