Whisk all ingredients together until well combined. Cover and refrigerate at least one hour.
3.
Falafel:
4.
Place the chickpeas, onion, garlic, cilantro, parsley, coriander, cumin, and lemon zest in a food processor and pulse until it forms a coarse meal.
5.
Sprinkle in the flour and baking soda and pulse a few times to combine, then test the mixture to make sure that it holds together adding more flour until it does. Refrigerate the mixture in a covered container for at least 2 hours.
