FALAFEL WITH HOMEMADE WHOLEMEAL TORTILLA AND MINT-LIME YOGURT

I´m so happy that the spring slowly arrives germany! And because it was really warm today i took a fancy to a fresh and light dinner. So i decided to make this, a bit time-consuming but delicious recipe.
Possibly this isn´t the absolutly best tortilla recipe, but for my first try they are very well done.

 Ingredients for the tortillas:

• 160g all white spelled flour
• 180g wholemeal spelled flour
• 1 coated teaspoon salt
• 4-5 tbsp oil
• 180ml warm water

1. Mix the salt with the flours and add the oil. Mix until it´s crumbly.
2. Now pour the water to the flour and knead everything to a soft dough.
3. Devide the dough into smaller pieces and roll every piece out into really thin circle. 
4. Heat a pan without oil and place the tortillas on the pan. It only needs a few seconds on each side until it´s ready. The tortilla should remain soft to fill it easily.
5. Cover the tortilla with foil to keep them warm. 

Ingredients for the Falafel:

• 1 can of chickpeas
• 1 onion, diced
• 1 big garlic clove, chopped
• 4-5 tbsp flour
• 2-3 tbsp bread crumbs
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1,5 tsp paprika 
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp turmeric
• salt, pepper and chili-flakes to taste
• a few drops lemon-juice
• 1/4 bunch of fresh parsley

1.  Heat a pan with oil and fry the onion and the garlic briefly.
2. Crush the chickpeas with a folk. You can also use a food processor. 
3. Add everything to the chickpeas and knead by hand. The mixture shouldn´t be sticky anymore.
4. Form little balls or patties with the mixture. Now you can fry them in a pan (that´s what i did to get it low-fat) or in a fryer to get them really crispy!!!

Ingredients for the mint-lime yogurt: 

• 150g natural yogurt
• 10-15 mint leaves
• some lime zest and juice
• chili-flakes, salt, pepper and a pinch of sugar to taste

Mix everything and let it rest in the refrigerator.

You also need tomatoes, cucumber, salad and tomato sauce/ or red pesto for the filling!
