    Instructions

    Fry onion in vegetable oil until soft.
    Rinse and drain chickpeas, and place into a bowl. Mash with a potato masher, leaving a few almost whole if you like a bit more texture.
    Grind a star anise in a pestle as fine as you can get.
    Add the star anise and all other ingredients to the chickpeas and stir together.
    Roll into small balls about 2-3cm / 1 inch across - smaller means they cook quicker and get crunchier.
    Fry in vegetable oil for 5 to 10 minutes until warm though and golden brown.
    For the tahini, just blitz the sesame seeds in a liquidizer with the olive oil until smooth.
    Assemble wraps, tahini sauce, and falafel.
