I had some chickpeas left in my fridge, so I got this idea. The Tzatziki-like sauce recalls the Egiptian Zabadi sauce and goes well with felafels. :)

Steps

30 mins

1

Preheat the oven at 400°F
2

Put all the felafel ingredients in a blender and blend them roughly (it has to remain a bit chuncky).
3

Coat the bottom of a baking pan with a little oil
4

Take out one spoon of mixture at a time from the blender, roll a ball, press it an put it in the pan
5

Cook for 30 minutes, flip them and keep cooking for 15 more minutes (keep an eye on them in the meantime). They should come out brown an crunchy on both sides.
6

While they are cooking, prepare the sauce. Start by peeling the cucumber, discard the internal seedy part and cut it into small cubes (no blender this time!) - you can put them in a bowl with some salt and drain them before mixing all the ingredients together.
7

Chop the garlic cloves in tiny bits.
8

Put all the sauce ingredients in a bowl and mix them. Refrigerate until the felafel are ready.
9

Put the sauce on a plate and serve the felafel on top of it.
