Chef tips
To ensure your falafel is extra crispy and doesn't break apart, chill the chickpea mixture in the fridge for half an hour before frying. This helps the balls keep their lovely, firm shape. For children who prefer milder flavours, you can add small cubes of pickled gherkins to the pita salad, or bake them in the oven with a generous spray of olive oil instead of frying.
