  3. Cook falafel Heat a drizzle of oil in a large fry-pan on medium-high heat and dollop heaped tablespoonfuls of falafel mix into the pan. Cook for about 2 minutes each side, until browned and warmed through. Set aside on paper towels between batches.
  4. Warm wraps Wrap wraps in foil and place in oven for about 8 minutes, until warmed through. If you want to avoid turning the oven on, you can simply warm wraps (uncovered) in microwave for about 30 seconds, until warmed through. Once falafel has cooked, add mayonnaise, second measure of Indian falafel spices and lemon zest and juice to veggies in large bowl. Toss to combine and season to taste.
