Lebanese Chickpea Patties or Falafel Patties with Lebanese Potato Garlic Dip

The Lebanese Chickpeas Patties is a deep-fried ball or patty made from ground chickpeas, some herbs and the lebanese spice mix "Baharat". The patties are traditionally sandwiched between Pita bread and the assembled mezze or starter is called "Falafel".
Lebanese cuisine has one main ingredients called the "Baharat powder".
Its easily available in most super markets, but incase you cannot find it, you can make it at home.
Its a spice powder just like the Indian Garam masala, the ingredients of which I have also given.
I however make only these patties and serve them with home made "Lebanese Potato Garlic sauce/Dip".
Try making them at home they are super easy and yummy!
One of these days I will make the Pita Bread at home and assemble the "Falafel", but today due to lack of time I made these patties alone and served them with the dip and my family/friends loved it.
