I used alot less Garlic than called for in the recipe, but I still used enough to allow the garlic to stand out. I like this recipe, and I like the fact that includes basil and oregano as part of the recipe, too.

To use that amount of Tahili you would have to double the amount of chickpeas. I have been making this recipe (I got it from an Egyptian) for over 35 years.
