This was highly recommended on a 'favorite Spark recipe' thread and I can't wait to try it! I have a very ripe avocado just waiting to be used. Thanks for the suggested alternatives for the Garam Masala, as don't have any on hand, and have never used it. And I always love extra garlic! Thanks! - 6/19/08

Save on calories and make it tastier by adding more garlic, more cumin, and more tahini, and put only one or two tea spoons of it on your salad. I think most calories here are from the fat in the tahini and avocado, but it is healthy fat, so go ahead and enjoy. Never tried it with yoghurt. - 2/13/08

Tahini is found in two places. 1 by the peanut butter. it has another name. seasme butter. Also you can find it in a dairy case as well. Garam Masala is kind of like flour used in some mexican dishes. Bob Red mill makes this product. You may beable to find this in the baking isle/internaial isle - 2/17/08
