Soak the chickpeas overnight. Now in a pressure cooker let it cook till it's 80% boiled. It will take 10-12 whistles on high flame. Open the lid & let it cool down to room temperature.

Now in a mixer jar add onion, 3 garlic cloves, green chilli & coriander leaves. Now add salt, chilli powder, black pepper & cumin powder to it.

Add par boiled chickpeas and maida to the jar. Now make a crumbled batter.

Transfer the batter into a bowl. Add baking soda & mix well. Now form small balls out of the batter by applying oil on your palm. Flatten it to make falafel.

You can make falafel by using airfryer/oven. Preheat the air fryer/oven, place the falafel on 180°c for 18 minutes. Or you can simply shallow fry them in a pan. You can also deep fry falafel but I like to keep it healthy & non-fried.

Your chickpeas healthy & tasty falafel is ready.

Now for hummus take 1/4 cup sesame seeds in a pan & dry roast till it turns light brown in colour. Now transfer the seeds in a mixer jar.

Now add 1/4 cup olive oil to form a smooth paste. Add boiled 1.5 cup chickpeas, 1.5 tsp salt, 2 cloves garlic, 2 tbsp chopped olives & 2 tbsp water to form a smoother paste. You can add 1-2 tbsp water if the mixer is still dry & not blending well.

Garnish hummus with a drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of red chilli powder & black pepper. Chickpeas falafel & hummus is ready to be served.
