- Very roughly chop the garlic and parsley (including the stalks). Put into a food processor with the cumin, ¼ tsp chilli powder, chickpeas, 2 tbsp of the egg (you won't need the rest) and half the onion. Whizz until everything is finely chopped - you might need to scrape down the sides of the bowl a few times. Season generously then shape into 6 or 8 falafel.
- Heat ½ tbsp oil in a large non-stick pan, then cook the falafel for 3 minutes on each side, until golden. As they cook, toss the rest of the onion, cabbage and lettuce with 2 tbsp lemon juice and some salt and pepper. Whisk the tahini and remaining lemon juice into the yoghurt, add a little water if needed, then season and sprinkle with a pinch of chilli powder. Serve the falafel and salad with flatbreads, the yoghurt sauce and a few pickled chillies.
