Fallafel with Hummus is a very popular street food in Middle East Countries and it is a national food of Israel. Hummus is a Sauce/Dip accompanied with fallafel. They usually serve them in a pita bread to make a sandwich but here I tried to make a burger using fallafel. It is a healthy burger that's filling too.
