Super Quick Falafel! - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    800 g drained canned chick-peas
    2 teaspoons cumin
    2 tablespoons fresh coriander, chopped (cilantro)
    2 garlic cloves, crushed
    1 fresh green chile, deseeded and finely chopped
    oil (for frying)
    1 cup Greek yogurt
    salad leaves
    4 pita breads, to serve
Preparation
    Mash the chickpeas or puree coarsely in a food processor. Mix with the cumin, coriander, garlic and chilli. Season and divide into 24 pieces of equal size. Shape each piece into a ball.
    Heat a little oil in a frying pan and cook the balls for approximately 6 minutes each or until crisp and golden. This will probably have to be done in batches unless you have a huge pan!
    Toast the pitta breads and slit the tops. Fill with the falafel and salad leaves, spoon a little yogurt on to the top too.
