"This recipe is from the time I was in college. A college friend and I always wanted to try Falafel, so we found a basic recipe and added some other ingredient to our taste. we always prepared this together on nights when friends came over, and served this with other finger food. Combination tip: Delicious with spelled pita bread with tzatziki salad and raw arugula."
