Frequently Asked Questions About Falafel with yogurt
What is falafel with yogurt?
Falafel with yogurt is a dish of seasoned chickpea or fava-bean patties served with yogurt, often as a sauce or dip. The patties may be fried or baked, and are commonly paired with pita, salad, or pickles.
How do you make falafel with yogurt from scratch?
To make falafel with yogurt, pulse soaked chickpeas with herbs, onion, garlic, and spices until the mixture is coarse, then shape and cook the patties. Serve them with yogurt sauce on the side so the falafel stays crisp.
What yogurt sauce goes with falafel with yogurt?
A simple garlic-and-lemon yogurt sauce goes well with falafel with yogurt. Stir lemon juice, crushed garlic, and salt into plain yogurt; add chopped mint or dill if you like. Keep the sauce thick for dipping or thin it slightly for drizzling.
Is falafel with yogurt served in a pita or on a plate?
Falafel with yogurt works either in a pita or on a plate. For a sandwich, add salad and pickles and use thick yogurt sauce; for a plated meal, serve the sauce alongside the patties to preserve their crust.
Can you make falafel with yogurt using canned chickpeas?
Yes, you can make falafel with yogurt using canned chickpeas, but drain and dry them very well first. Canned chickpeas are softer than soaked, uncooked ones, so the mixture may need extra care to avoid becoming wet and falling apart.
Can you freeze falafel with yogurt?
Yes, freeze the cooked falafel patties separately from the yogurt sauce. Cool the patties first and store them airtight; thaw and reheat them until hot, then serve with freshly prepared or refrigerated yogurt sauce rather than freezing the sauce with them.
Why is falafel with yogurt sometimes dry inside?
Falafel with yogurt can be dry inside if the patties are overcooked, packed too tightly, or made from a mixture that is too coarse and crumbly. Keep the mixture cohesive and cook just until the centers are done; the yogurt sauce adds moisture at serving.
What is the difference between falafel with yogurt and falafel with tahini?
Falafel with yogurt is served with a tangy, creamy dairy sauce, while falafel with tahini uses a sesame-based sauce with a nuttier taste. Yogurt sauce is often mixed with garlic or herbs; tahini sauce is commonly loosened with lemon juice and water.
Can falafel with yogurt be eaten as a main meal?
Yes, falafel with yogurt can be a main meal when served with pita or grains and vegetables. The chickpea patties provide protein and fiber, while salad or roasted vegetables make the plate more substantial and varied.
Is baked falafel with yogurt as good as fried falafel?
Baked falafel with yogurt can be just as flavorful, though it usually has a less crisp exterior than fried falafel. Brush the patties lightly with oil and space them apart on the tray; serve the yogurt sauce separately.

What is Falafel with yogurt?
Falafel with yogurt brings together falafel—seasoned chickpea or, in some traditions, fava-bean patties—with cool yogurt, served as a topping or sauce. Falafel has roots in Middle Eastern cooking, and recipes vary in their herbs, spices and choice of pulses.
The patties are usually crisp outside and tender inside, while yogurt adds a tangy, creamy contrast. It can be served in a pita or bowl with salad, or as part of a mezze-style spread; a little fresh herb or lemon works well alongside it. Chickpeas contribute both protein and fibre, with 5.8 g of fibre per 100 g. For a lighter plate, bake the falafel and serve the yogurt on the side.
