Cooking Steps
Drain the soaked chickpeas and rinse them thoroughly.
In a food processor, add the chickpeas, onion, garlic, parsley, cilantro, cumin, coriander, red chili flakes, salt, and flour. Pulse until everything is combined and forms a coarse mixture.
Remove the mixture from the food processor and transfer it to a bowl. Knead the mixture with your hands until it holds its shape.
Shape the mixture into small balls or patties.
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the falafel balls or patties and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy.
Cut the whole wheat pita bread in half and spread hummus on the inside.
Add the cooked falafel, cucumber, tomato, red onion, and chopped parsley leaves.
