Dude -
First of all, no – I’m not from Nablus, I’m from Tel-Aviv. And I’m not using raw sesame seeds but raw tahini (which is made from lightly roasted sesame). Sure you can find sesame in many places, but making good tahini out of it is something that the people of Nablus are undoubtedly best at.

I guess you’re from Shechem (Nablus) and are partisan to their local sesame. That’s fine. No problem. Except that many other countries use sesame seeds. If you want good sesame seeds to make your tahina you can also find them for sale at Korean and Indian stores, as well as many others. I note also that you use raw sesame seeds. That’s fine, except I prefer roasted sesame seeds (you can buy them already roasted or you can roast them yourself). The bottom line is that there are many routes to the same destination.

Your right shooky, it was the tahini sauce! I was so happy to find this recipe out. Now I don’t have to go to midtown Manhattan at 3 in the morning anymore!

1 Lg can chick peas
2 tbs tahini
3 or 4 habaneros
2 or 3 garlic cloves 1/3 lemon juice
3 or 4 sundried tomatoes
Just use a little of the chick pea juice to blend until it’s like smooth masned potatoes.
1/4 Tsp cayenne pepper, or to taste
Didn’t know where to post this but if you like it hot this is the ‘HOT’
Eat with some Pita chips or whatever

Hi! I’m curious if this is the magical “white sauce” that is found in halal chicken and rice platters? If not maybe this is the place to ask what exactly that sauce is. I know in NYC, street carts have chicken and rice topped with hot sauce and this creamy white sauce that is absolutely addicting. I would love to find out what it is.
