Method For the pita bread

1. Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and using enough water, knead into a semi-soft dough until it is smooth and elastic (approx. 5 to 7 minutes). 2. Cover the dough with a wet muslin cloth and allow it to prove till it doubles in volume (approx. 15 to 20 minutes). 3. Press the dough lightly to remove the air. 4. Divide the dough into 6 equal parts. 5. Roll out each portion into a circle of 150 mm. (6") diameter and 4 mm. (1/6") thickness. 6. Cook one circle on a hot tava (griddle) on each side for a minute or until the bread puffs up. 7. Remove and keep aside. Repeat for the remaining circles to make more pita bread. 8. Cut each pita bread into 2 halves. Keep aside.

For the dressing

1. Blend all the ingredients in a liquidiser into a smooth sauce. Keep refrigerated.

For the patties

1. Drain the water from the kabuli chana. 2. Grind the kabuli chana, green chilli and mint in a blender to a coarse paste without using water. 3. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well. 4. Divide the mixture into 12 equal parts and shape them into patties. 5. Brush a non-stick pan with the oil and cook the patties till golden brown in colour. 6. Drain on absorbent paper and keep aside.

How to proceed
1. Warm the pita bread halves on a hot tava (griddle). 2. Fill each pita bread half with some tomato slices and shredded lettuce, one patty and a spoonful of the dressing on top. 3. Repeat for the remaining pita bread halves and other ingredients to make 11 more falafels. 4. Serve immediately.

Tips
1. You can use teaspoon (2.5 grams) dry yeast dissolved in lukewarm water instead
