Turmeric goes with so many dishes. Try experimenting with it by putting it into a sauce or a dip. Here we've got a simple cashew dressing with grated raw turmeric which works perfectly with these falafels! Adapted from Ottolenghi’s traditional falafel recipe these falafels are incredible. Enjoy this dish for a family weekend lunch or a light dinner.
For the dressing soak the cashews in water for at least 4 hours.
To make the falafels soak raw dry chickpeas over night or for 8 hours in a bowl of water. They will double in size.
Drain the chickpeas and place them into a food processor. Add all of the ingredients for the falafel in the above list excluding the plain flour, baking powder and sesame seeds.
Blend for 4-5 minutes until it has a finely chopped texture (don't make it paste like, it still needs to maintain some grip).
Remove the mixture from the processor and place into a bowl. Add the baking powder, flour, salt and water and mix well with your hands. Cover the mixture and place into the fridge for 1 hour.
Meanwhile prepare the cashew dressing by straining the cashews and placing into a processor. Finely grate the raw turmeric into the processor, add the dry turmeric, olive oil, salt and pepper. Once you start blending pour in the boiling water. This will create a smoother mixture. Set aside until serving.
Once the falafel mixture has come out of the fridge heat a saucepan with olive oil. You only need the oil to come 6 cm up the sides of the pan. Heat on a medium heat. Don’t let it smoke.
To create the falafels, using wet hands and a tablespoon to press the mixture into your hands. Try aim for enough mixture that will be the size of an apricot. Press the mixture really well with your hands and place onto the sesame seeds, flipping over to cover both sides and smoothing out the edges. Repeat.
Fry for 5 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and place onto some paper towel to drain off excess oil.
In a bowl or salad board arrange the salad leaves, spinach leaves, onion, falafel and serve with the turmeric dressing.
