To make the falafel, combine all ingredients except oil in a food processor and whizz to a smooth paste. Use wet hands to form into small balls, then flatten slightly.
Mix together all the ingredients for the yoghurt tahini dressing in a small bowl and put to one side.
Heat 2 Tbsp oil in a large frying pan and pan-fry falafel in batches until golden (about 3 minutes each side). Transfer to an oven tray lined with paper towels and keep warm in oven while you cook the rest, using more oil if necessary. Serve falafels in wraps with the yoghurt tahini dressing and fillings of your choice.
NOTE: These falafel are so easy to prepare and can be served with different salad combinations as preferred.
