Add tahini, garlic, salt, chilli powder, oil and lemon juice into a blender. Blend on high for 1–2 minutes until the mixture lightens in colour.

Add the chickpeas into the blender. Blend on high until the mixture stops moving. Turn off, scrape down the sides and toss the mixture. Blend on high again for 2–3 minutes until smooth. While the machine is running add a tablespoon of brine in at a time.
