Step 1
Pulse chickpeas, amba, flour, garlic, cilantro, and cumin in a food processor until just combined—texture should be coarse, not a paste.
Step 2
Scoop mixture into 12 balls (walnut-sized) and place on a plate.
Step 3
Heat oil in a skillet or air fryer to 350°F. Working in batches, fry falafel 4–5 minutes, turning halfway, until golden brown and crisp outside.
Step 4
Transfer to a paper towel–lined plate. Whisk tahini with 2 tbsp water and a pinch of salt until pourable.
Step 5
Serve falafel warm, drizzled with tahini sauce and a sprinkle of flaky salt.
