"I love falafel, but I don't deep-fry them. This is how I make them in a pan. Serve with warm pitas, tzatziki, and your favorite diced vegetables. Enjoy!!!"

Made this as a side for my Indian Butter Chicken. Was a little heavier than I anticipated but the flavors were great and they were delicious. Not too dry but always good with sauce.
