Homemade Falafel and cucumber dressing

2 cans chickpeas (each can is 15 ounces)
1 small red onion
5 garlic cloves
1/4 cup fresh parsley
1/4 cup fresh coriander 
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/3 cup flour
a sprinkle of black pepper

In a food processor blend up chickpeas drained and rinsed no liquid as this will make the falafel fall apart when cooking, onion, garlic, parsley, and coriander into a thick past.
 Once it's all blended put into a bowl and add the flour, salt, baking powder, then the black pepper. Stir well till combined. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rest in the refrigerator for 2 hours, don't skip this step or your Falafel will fall apart when frying them.

Make the Dressing by adding 2 cups of Greek yogurt and 1/2 a cucumber, set aside for 30-40mins.

In a heavy pot or deep fryer add enough oil for the Falafel to float. You want the temperature to be at about 180C. Allow to cook for 2-3 mins.
Enjoy

These were really tasty and we all enjoyed our tasty dinner.
