Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Place the chickpeas in a bowl and cover with cold water, ensuring there is 12 cm of water above them. Leave overnight.
Step 2
Drain the water, transfer the chickpeas to a blender. Blend until smooth. Add finely chopped onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, chopped parsley, and cilantro leaves. Then add ground coriander, cumin, and baking powder. Blend again until you have a green paste. Let it rest for 30 minutes.
Step 3
For the dressing: in a bowl, combine yogurt, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, and 1 minced garlic clove. Mix well and season with salt.
Step 4
With wet hands, shape the mixture into 24 oval patties, about the size of an egg. Heat vegetable oil in a pot and fry the falafel for 2-3 minutes until dark brown. Transfer to a paper towel and keep warm in a slightly heated oven.
Step 5
Arrange the arugula leaves on plates, top with falafel, and drizzle with yogurt dressing. Serve immediately.
