1
Drain the chickpeas, saving about half of the liquid.
2
Blend the garlic and lemon juice in a food processor and let it sit a minute to mellow the garlic.
3
Add the tahini and blend until thick and creamy.
4
Add the chickpeas, saved liquid, salt, and garam masala and blend 2 to 3 minutes, scraping down the sides, until very smooth. Drizzle in the olive oil with the motor running.
5
Taste and add more salt, lemon, or garam masala. Spoon into a bowl, swirl the top, and sprinkle with paprika. Toast a few sesame seeds in a dry pan for a minute or two and scatter them over if you have them.
