Instructions
Dry-roast the black sesame seeds (kala til) over low heat until they smell toasty and begin to pop. Go by smell, as they're already dark. Set aside to cool.
Dry-roast the walnuts (akhrot) separately until fragrant. Cool completely.
Blend the cooled sesame and walnuts into a coarse, oily meal.
Add the hung curd (strained yogurt) a spoon at a time, blending until it forms a thick, soft, spreadable paste. Add honey if using.
Transfer to an airtight container and keep refrigerated. Eat within 3–4 days.
