Homemade falafel with tomato salsa

This falafel recipe it's super easy, healthy and fast to prepare. Tastes amazing with tomato salsa on the side and freshly made guacamole. I served it on whole grain tortillas, but I bet you can have it with any type of bread you want. 

Homemade falafel with tomato salsa 

(makes 6 small falafels) 

400 g chickpeas, rinsed and drained

1 garlic clove

1 small bunch of fresh coriander

2 tbsp lemon juice

1 1 tbsp sweet chilli 

1 tbsp salt

1 tbsp ground pepper 

1 tbsp corn flour

olive oil

Put chickpeas into the food processor. Add garlic clove, fresh coriander, lemon juice, all of the spices and flour. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides of the processor every couple of second.

Move all mixture into clean bowl, and start shaping patties. I prepared mine quite small, so I ended up with 6 falafels. 

Put 2 tbsp of olive oil into the frying pan, and when when hot start adding falafels. Fry them around 3 minutes on each side, turning when golden and crispy. Leave it on the serving plate.
