Falafel is a popular Middle Eastern food which is made with spiced chickpeas and fava beans which are ground into a paste, formed into balls, and then fried. The resulting patties are typically rolled up in a flatbread like pita and topped with a tangy sauce. Many people associate falafel with street food, since it is a common street offering in regions with large Middle Eastern communities; it is also possible to find falafel in delis or to make it at home.
