We now bring you a famous Mediterranean dish in a diabetic-friendly form! Falafel is usually made of kabuli chana and deep-fried, but here we have made it with moong dal and cooked it in an appe mould to avoid deep-frying. You also get a good dose of healthy kabuli chana from the hummus! The third part of this wonderful dish is the whole wheat pita bread. This is available in stores, but you can never be sure if it is made of whole wheat flour, so let’s make that ourselves – this simple recipe will help you master the art of making whole wheat pita bread too. Once you get all the ingredients ready, it is time to assemble them together into sumptuous Falafel in Whole Wheat Pita Pockets, which you can enjoy occasionally to satisfy the craving for your favourite snacks. Although this dish involves some effort in preparing each component, it is totally worth the effort because you can be assured of the healthiness and keep your blood sugar levels under check.

Quite filling!! Nice idea of making moong dal falafel so they bind and cook well in an appe mould... This a way to do away with excess fat. The low-fat curd dressing gives the needed moistness to the pitas and thus make it more appetizing.

But isn''t the nutrition based on 1 serving including the bread n stuff.. So the nutrition wud change???

Tarla Dalal    If you make half the dough of the Butter naan without yeast recipe and then proceed to roll and cook the pita as per the recipe above, then the Nutritive values per falafel won''t change drastically.

Tarla Dalal    You can make the pita bread without yeast as per the following recipe. Just replace maida with whole wheat flour. http://www.tarladalal.com/Butter-Naan-Without-Using-Yeast-Naan-Made-On-Stove-Top-Or-Tava-40940r
