Combine the contents from the food processor to the original half of the chopped chick peas and mix.
Add Flour to the mix until the mixture holds the shape of a small ball.
Form the dough into the size of golf balls, roll in Sesame seeds (optional), and gently flatten the ball into a shape of a thick disk.
Deep fry in hot vegetable oil until brown (float to the top).
Cool on kitchen paper and serve warm.
For Preparing the Tahina Sauce: Whisk Tahina and Water together until smooth. Add Lemon juice and continue mixing. Add more water for a thinner sauce
