Ingredients
For the dressing
To make the falafels, purée the chickpeas, onion, garlic, parsley, coriander, cumin and lemon juice in a blender or food processor. Turn the mixture into a bowl, and beat in the egg, then cover and chill in the refrigerator for 30–60 minutes, or longer if more convenient.
Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas mark 4.
With wet hands, shape the mixture into 20 equal-size balls. Put the falafels on an oiled baking sheet, and flatten them slightly, then brush with a little oil. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, turning the falafels over halfway through the cooking time.
To make the dressing, blend or process the mint, garlic and yogurt until smooth, turn into a bowl and season with salt and pepper.
To serve, put the falafels on a serving platter, and spoon the dressing over the top. Serve hot.
