  1. 1

    In a food processor, blend the chickpeas, onion, garlic, parsley, cumin and coriander until roughly combined but not completely smooth, you want some texture, not a paste.

  2. 2

    Transfer the mixture to a bowl, stir in the flour, and season with salt and pepper. Cover and chill in the fridge for at least 20 minutes, this helps the falafel hold together when cooking.

  3. 3

    Shape the mixture into small patties, about the size of a golf ball, flattened slightly.

  4. 4

    Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the falafel for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crisp on the outside.

  5. 5

    While the falafel cook, mix the tahini, lemon juice and water in a small bowl until smooth and pourable, add a little more water if it's too thick.

  6. 6

    Warm the flatbreads briefly in a dry pan or microwave.

  7. 7

    Fill each flatbread with lettuce, tomato, cucumber and falafel, then drizzle generously with the tahini sauce before wrapping up.
