- 2 tablespoons chickpea flour
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 cup water
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin

Instructions
1. In a medium bowl, combine the tahini, Greek yogurt, and lemon juice. Stir until smooth and creamy.
2. Gradually add the water, stirring continuously, to ensure the mixture stays smooth. Adjust the amount of water to reach your preferred consistency if necessary.
3. Heat a small non-stick pan over medium-low heat and add the chickpea flour. Stir constantly for about 3-5 minutes until it is lightly toasted and fragrant. Remove from heat.
4. Slowly incorporate the toasted chickpea flour into the tahini-yogurt mixture, thoroughly mixing to avoid any lumps.
5. Add the minced garlic, salt, pepper, cumin, and paprika. Stir well to evenly distribute the spices and flavors.
