Ramadan Iftar Ideas – Falafel Sandwich


Ramadan Iftar Ideas – Falafel Sandwich

Woohooo!! There’s an absolute treat for all those sandwich lovers. Here is a way to spice up the plain falafel patties with the creamy garlic tahini sauce and a spiced up version of regular tomato ketchup.


The bun or the sandwich bread is to be flavoured a bit. I did it my favourite way. Toasting it with garlic butter. It instantly brings life to a regular piece of loaf.




Now comes the creamy part of the sandwich. Just take in some regular hung curd 2-3 tablespoons of mayo and 1-2 tablespoons of tahini. And in half a tablespoon of garlic paste and season it with salt and white pepper. And voilaaa!!you have most flavorful garlic treat.


Now comes spicing up the regular tomato ketchup. Add in a bit of schezwan  sauce and any pasta or pizza seasoning. I used the all purpose seasoning from keya. I swear by this brand. It has some really amazing spice mixes. And then season it with garlic flavored red chilli…and yayy we have a magical sauce at our table.





Add in another layer of tahini sauce and add in cabbage and other veggies which you like as cucumber and other stuff. 



Just grill in a bit and we are done. Impress anybody with this amazing falafel sandwich which takes in minimal efforts and can be served in suhoor as well as it is pretty substantial.

Ramadan Iftar Ideas – Falafel

Ramadan Iftar Ideas – Falafel 

I have been waiting so long to share this with you people out there. I have never had falafel before at any restaurant. I came across falafel randomly checking out lebanese cuisine. It is basically chickpea/garbanzo bean fritters which surprisingly turned out so yummy.

 The garbanzo beans are soaked overnight.


It is basically processing garbanzo beans with onions, coriander, garlic and other powdered spices. It depends upon an individual whether he likes it gritty or more paste like consistency. I prefer more gritty because it adds in a bit more texture which feels great.




 It is best served hot with tahini sauce.  I tried it out for the first time and completely loved it. Hope you guys try it out and love it.
