Prepare the dressing first:
- Mix 15 g of tahini paste, 120 g Greek yogurt, 10 g freshly squeezed lemon juice, 3 g grated garlic (1 clove), 2 g salt and ground black pepper to taste. Gradually add water, a spoonful at a time to adjust the sauce to the desired consistency. I added 30 g of water. I recommend making the dressing first, so it can develop its taste, while you are preparing and baking other bowl ingredients.
Prepare falafel
- Cook 230 g of dry lentils according to the instructions. Drain, you should have around 500 g of cooked lentils. Blend all falafel ingredients in a blender except for flour (cooked lentils, cilantro, parsley, Jalapeño or chili pepper, oil, garlic, lemon juice, salt). Add flour so that you can roll the balls.
- Add flour gradually, so falafel stays soft. I added around 60 g of flour. Form falafel balls (the best way to do it is with wet hands). Bake at 180 C / 355 F for 40 minutes.
