Tahini Sauce Dip

For the first time today I tried making Tahini Sauce at home without buying the expensive pastes available at the retail. It’s so simple and hardly requires any ingredient. Tahini Sauce Dip is best when made with white sesame seeds and not with the roasted sesame seeds. I had to make this from scratch to prepare Green Moong Hummus. The result turned out to be much surprising. The Dip was super tasty and we had it with Tomato Rice as an accompaniment.Preparation Time:-10 minutes

Ingredients Required

1. White raw sesame seeds- 1 cup (you can also use roasted sesame, there might be a slight change in color)
2. Lemon Juice- 10ml
3. Garlic Pods – 4 pods – as many as you want
4. Salt to taste
5. Olive Oil
6. Water- 250ml
7. More Love

Garlic Dipped in Lemon and Raw white sesame seeds

 

• Start with dipping the garlic pods in lemon juice for 10 minutes and strain the juice.
• Keep the garlic pods, do not discard them
• In a small processor, add the white sesame seeds, salt, Garlic dipped lemon juice and olive oil

Adding more olive oil will enhance the taste and flavor

• Ensure it’s of paste consistency, till then keep adding water and olive oil to the processor.
• While Serving place the Garlic pods on top, for enhancing the garlicky flavor.

 Tahini sauce is now ready. You can use this for the preparation of Hummus, substitute for Mayonnaise and can be served as a dip to crackers.

NOTE:- Mistake I did here was that I added too much of lemon juice. The end product tasted a bit sour and citric.

Not bad! This tasted really good for the first time and should be a good texture ingredient for preparation of Hummus. Now, let me get ready for Green Moong Hummus!!!
