This Ayurvedic Hummus & Tahini recipe has been modified by removing garlic. In Ayurvedic thought, garlic is Rajasic, meaning it brings about excess stimulation that can interfere with digestion and overstimulate your mind. In its place, we’ve added digestive spices that increase Agni (digestive fire). You can try many different spices, including fenugreek, sumac, and/or Hing (asafoetida). You can buy cooked garbanzo beans or cook them yourself.
