Vegan Mofo #9: Curried Chickpea Falafel

I totally invented this recipe only because I had chickpea flour in my cupboard and I didn't know what to do with it. 

And I like curry. 

So these babies were born! And the lemon garlic dipping sauce TOTALLY makes the whole thing. 

P.s. Don't taste the batter before you cook it. GROSS. But it tastes good once it's cooked! =D
