For the thick curd for Tahini Dip

1. Place a clean muslin cloth over a deep bowl and put the curd in the cloth.
2. Bring all the edges of the muslin cloth together, tie a not and hang it over a sink or bowl for 20 minutes to remove some of the whey so that the curd becomes thicker.
3. After 20 minutes, the curd will look like this.
4. Put it in a bowl and whisk it till it is smooth and light. We need about 1 cup of whisked curd. Keep aside.

For the tahini dip

1. Heat a broad non-stick pan and place the sesame seeds in it.
2. Dry roast the sesame seeds for 1-2 minutes on a medium flame till they are slightly darker in color and start releasing a nutty aroma. Since the seeds heat up very fast, make sure to keep on stirring them to avoid burning.
3. Transfer to a plate to cool completely.
4. Transfer the cooled seeds to a small mixer jar.
5. Then add the olive oil. These two ingredients are the basic ingredients for a tahini.
6. Since this is a dip, we are also adding other flavors to complement this paste, like lemon juice.
7. Then finally add the garlic and salt.
8. Close the lid and blend this to a coarse paste. The coarse sesame seed paste brings out a different textural element that goes well with the smooth curd. Tahini is an essential middle eastern paste that is used in many of their food items. You can look at the recipe of how to make tahini paste here.

Madam, You have put up an easy & delicious recipe for Tahini sauce for a cup''s size quantity. That''s fine for a day or two without spoiling (in the fridge), I presume. However, Please let me know if I want to make say around 2-3 cups or more for use over 7-8 days, will it hold good or will it spoil, in spite of keeping in the fridge. Any need for any preservative?
