Answer 1

I think you mean falafel. (fuh-LA-fell)

It is a patty made of bulgur wheat that has been soaked in hot water or stock, seasoned, then formed into patties and deep-fried. Yum.

Answer 2

Do you mean "falafel"? If so:

A Middle Eastern specialty made up of small, deep-fried croquettes or balls made of highly spiced, ground chickpeas (garbanzos). They are generally served inside pita bread, sandwich style, but can also be served as appetizers. A yogurt or tahini-based sauce is often served with falafel.
