These homemade falafels are served with a cucumber and mint-infused yoghurt. Just add flatbread.

I prefer purple kūmara, but orange or yellow also works for this recipe. It’s easier to mix and roll the falafel beforehand (I promise making them yourself is well worth the effort). The flatbreads are best when toasted on a gas element or warmed in the oven.
