Add your soaked chickpeas, onion garlic, spices, bi-carb soda and salt to a food processor and blitz until coarse (sand consistency).
Add the parsley, mint, and lemon zest and blitz again until it forms a loose dough.
Heat some vegetable, canola or peanut oil to 160°C. Roll your falafel dough into balls and cook for 5-6 minutes or until a nice golden crust is formed on the outside. Remove and place on some paper to dry.
For the tahini dressing, simply mix the tahini with lemon juice and a pinch of salt.
Serve with a salad of your choice, I used red cabbage dressed with vinegar, iceberg lettuce, radish, sweet peppers, cherry plum tomatoes and cucumbers. I encourage you to use what is in season where you live.
