7. Take the bread out and knock out the dough so that the air is released.
8. Knead for one last time and pinch out to form small balls.
9. Heat a flat skillet, dust some flour on to your surface and with the help of the rolling pin start rolling one of the ball to a round shaped flat bread, the bread should not be rolled too thin and it has to big enough to stuff the chicken and roll it up to form a roll.

23. Add a half a teaspoon of oil into each of the cavities, place the shaped falafel into the cavities and pan fry them until it is crisp and browned on both sides.
24. Add few more drops of oil when you flip over to fry them on the other side.

27. Drain them out and place it over napkin to take out the excess oil.
