- In a food processor, process chickpeas, onion, 1 clove of garlic, parsley and cumin until finely chopped. Transfer to a large bowl. Sift flour over top and fold in. Add egg and stir to combine. Shape into 20 small patties. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for 20 mins.
- Meanwhile, to make the tabouli, combine bulgur and tomatoes in a medium shallow bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for 20 mins, or until bulgur is soft. Add spring onions, mint, garlic and vegetable oil. Season. Set aside.
- Heat deep-frying oil in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Working in batches, deep-fry falafels for 2-4 mins, or until golden. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels to drain.
- To serve, combine yogurt, lemon juice and remaining garlic. Spoon into small serving bowls. Place bread, tabouli and falafel on serving plates. Serve with yogurt sauce.
