Chickpea Falafel Bites

I've made these delightful little bites a few times now, and they are certainly worth the fuss, as they are quite filling, and may be spiced up to suit your taste. Each time I've made them, the dough was quite soft, and I was rather nervous they would not hold together, but with some careful handling of the dough, and well greased palms, these little bites hold together remarkable well when baked, so don't be tempted to add too much chickpea flour, as you do want a dough that is soft. Chilling the mixture in the fridge for at least a few hours is recommended, or even overnight if you have the time. I also highly recommend the tahini dip, which complements the flavors present in the falafel bites, so named because they remind me of falafel....
