Place falafel ball ingredients (minus the oil for frying) into your food processor and process until it is finely chopped and easily holds a shape. Shape into the size of a golf ball and place on a plate.

To make the tahini sauce, add the ingredients for the tahini sauce into a large bowl and mix together until combined. Adjust any flavors that are needed.
