Step 1
Start by heating some oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Toss in the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until it becomes soft and translucent, which should take about 5 minutes. Then add the mushrooms and garlic, and cook everything together for another couple of minutes until the mushrooms start to soften. Next, throw in the yam and let it cook for about 2 minutes.

Step 2
Now sprinkle in the cumin, coriander, onion seeds, black mustard seeds, chili powder, paprika, and turmeric. Stir everything well so the spices coat the veggies evenly, and cook for another 2 minutes to let the flavors bloom. Add the cauliflower, chickpeas, salt, and pepper, then give it all a good stir to combine.

Step 3
In a small bowl, mix the vegetable stock with the tomato paste until smooth. Pour this mixture into the skillet, cover it, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the yam is tender. Finally, stir in the spinach, parsley, and a squeeze of both lemon and lime juice. Cook just long enough for everything to come together—about a minute—and then you’re ready to dig in.

How to serve
Serve with a dollop of cool yogurt or tahini sauce to balance the spices. Fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro add brightness. A side of pickled vegetables or a simple salad can make the meal feel even more refreshing.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or oven to keep the falafel crispy rather than soggy. You can also freeze portions for up to a month and thaw before reheating.
