Favorite Sauce/Condiment for Falafels

[Barriehie]

So, what's your favorite addition to a falafel stuffed in a pita bread?

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

Hummus, or a lemon tahini dressing.

 

[badjak]

Some lettuce & yoghurt-garlic sauce & a wee bit of chili sauce or sambal

 

[Morning Glory]

Yoghurt based dip
Harissa

I don't eat them stuffed in pita though...

 

[TastyReuben]

We like a garlicky yogurt sauce, but like MG said, we don’t stuff them in pita.

Yogurt seems to be predominant.
I like SatNavSaysStraightOn tahini but any I can get around here is pricey and old. It's not much much on a Southern menu or item.

I think it’s pretty easy to make your own tahini, and I know you like a challenge like that.

I made some black tahini once. Its the same recipe for white tahini:

I've gotten mine from Walmart before. It does keep a rather long time and they shouldn't carry it if it's past expiry date.

I would probably make some hummus (with tahini, it's the best) to go with the pita or other type of flatbread and some raita or tzatziki to go with the falafel. I bet rascal has a good recipe for raita.

I've already got everything to make tzatziki tomorrow.

Mint is done...

I don't put mint in mine. A matter of personal preference as I only like mint (occasionally) in iced tea.

Never done it. I was just looking up what raita was.

Ahh yes.

In a falafel wrap, I like tahini, lemon juice, lettuce, tomatoes, red onions and maybe a little bit of garlic with yoghurt. I like to keep it fairly authentic.
If I'm served falafel in a restaurant, they're drizzled with tahini and topped with a few diced tomatoes.

Raita is an Indian dish; basically yoghurt with herbs ( coriander leaf, mint, maybe dill)and diced cucumber. Occasionally, a pinch of cumin.
There are many variants, however: spinach, potato, daikon radish.
The idea of a raita is a cooling dish, which offsets the spices in the main dishes. There's no such thing as a "salad"in Indian cuisine.
