Place the chickpeas, tahini, parsley, cilantro, dill, garlic, shallots, lime rind, flour, cumin, salt, and black pepper in a food processor and process until just combined.
Roll tablespoons of the mixture into balls, flatten slightly and roll in the sesame seeds, if desired.
Fill half-full a medium, deep saucepan with oil and place over medium heat until the temperature reaches 320°F on a deep-frying thermometer. Cook the falafels, in batches, for 2–3 minutes or until crunchy and golden. Drain on paper towel.
Serve with flatbread, greens, tomatoes and yogurt sauce.
Notes

Most of the skins will float and you will be able to pick them and discard. Drain the beans and pat them dry, then remove with your finger the remaining skins.★ Did you make this recipe?
