2. Add a few inches of oil to the bottom of a heavy pot. Heat to 375 degrees F.
3. Fry the balls for 2-3 minutes or until golden and cooked through. Drain onto paper towels and then sprinkle lightly with salt.
4. To assemble, spread each piece of naan with yogurt, top with lettuce, falafels, avocado, and cucumber. Drizzle the ginger tahini and jalapeño sauce (both recipes below) over the falafels. Enjoy!
