Falafel is a popular Middle Eastern dish made from ground chickpeas or fava beans, mixed with herbs, spices, and other ingredients. The mixture is formed into small balls or patties and then deep-fried or baked until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Falafel is known for its savory, herbaceous flavor and crunchy texture. It is commonly served in pita bread or on its own, accompanied by various toppings such as hummus, tahini sauce, tzatziki, lettuce, tomatoes, and onions. Falafel is a staple street food in many countries and is enjoyed by vegetarians and meat-eaters alike for its delicious taste and satisfying texture.
