Directions:
- Cucumber Sauce:
- In a small bowl combine yogurt, cucumber, dill, salt, pepper and mayonnaise. Chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Falafel:
- (NOTE: Overnight soaking time not included in Prep Time.)
- Soak chickpeas in cold water to cover by 2 inches in a bowl at room temperature at least 12 hours. Drain well in a colander.
- Purée chickpeas with all remaining ingredients except oil in a food processor until as smooth as possible, about 2 minutes.
- Spread purée in a 15- by 10- by 1-inch baking pan and let dry, uncovered, 1 hour.
- Scoop 2 tablespoons of purée onto a long sheet of wax paper, then press and pat with your fingers into a 2-inch-wide patty. (Pressing the purée will help the patty hold together when frying.) Make a small hole in center of patty with tip of your pinkie finger (to help cook evenly).
- Make more patties in same manner, arranging them in 1 layer on wax paper.
- Heat about 1 inch oil in a 4- to 5-quart heavy pot (preferably cast-iron) until thermometer registers 340°F.
- Working in batches of 4, gently drop patties into hot oil, then fry, turning occasionally, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes, and transfer to paper towels to drain. Return oil to 340°F between batches. Serve falafel warm or at room temperature.
- (Cooks' note: Chickpeas can be soaked up to 24 hours.)
