💛 INSTRUCTIONS 💛
Frying Falafel:
Transfer the crushed falafel mixture to a container, cover it and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Just before frying, add the baking soda to the falafel mixture and stir with a spoon.
Heat oil. When the oil is hot, drop a few medium-sized rounds of the falafel mixture in it like Bhajiya/fritters.
Fry them until the balls are nicely browned and crispy.
Remove them to a paper towel.
Assembling:
Take a pita bread(store-bought), and open it from the center.
Fill it with falafel, red sauce, white, sauce, and salad.
It's ready. Eat before it gets soggy. 😊
