Place the garlic and chickpeas in the food processor and pulse a few times.  Add 3 teaspoons of the sesame oil, lemon juice, olive oil, cumin, and salt and pepper.  Puree and with the motor running add about 1/3 cup of the water.  Allow the mixture to process for about two minutes (see Cooking Tip), adding more water if you’d like a thinner consistency.  Taste and add additional sesame oil if desired.

Transfer to a serving bowl, drizzle with a bit of olive oil if you like,  and sprinkle with the paprika or cayenne.
