Description

Falafel sandwich is a popular Egyptian street food made with deep-fried chickpea patties and served in a warm pita bread with a variety of toppings and sauces. The origin of falafel is debated, with some claiming it originated in Egypt and others attributing it to countries such as Israel and Lebanon. However, it is widely enjoyed in Egypt and has become a staple in the country’s cuisine. The falafel patties are made by blending chickpeas, herbs, and spices into a thick paste and then deep-frying them until they are crispy and golden. The sandwich is then filled with the patties, along with vegetables such as tomatoes, lettuce, and cucumbers, and a tangy tahini sauce or spicy harissa sauce. It is a satisfying and delicious meal that can be enjoyed on the go or as a quick lunch.
