These falafals are so cheap to make and with the salad makes for a very healthy meal. The wraps are made the same way as the chapati recipe so cost pennies. You can add other toppings, but we’ve gone for the traditional Greek Hummus and Tzatziki.

There is enough in this recipe to save a couple of falafal or the dips for another lunch or you could just eat the lot in one go.
