Falafel Balls in Spicy Tomato Sauce - Recipe Review and Repost - Thanks Chupa

[Guest guest]

My 17 yold picked this recipe of Chupa's from our Indian/Middle Eastern

Recipe files here. She said it was very easy to make. We all LOVED it. We

toasted some of Wal-Marts Sunflower Seed Sandwich Rolls, split them open

and

spooned this over it.........So good. Thanks Chupa
