Finish. Set garlic cloves, cumin seeds, plus a pinch of salt in a mortar plus pestle plus crush till seeds are cracked and garlic is in little, flimsy chunks. Mince garlic very fine if you don't have a mortar and pestle. Empty fava beans (with liquid) into a mid-sized saucepan and mix with tahini and garlic paste. Cook over a medium-high flame, mixing often, till liquid retains some brothiness but turns thick plus sauce-like, around 5 minutes. Add lemon juice and salt till it tastes right. Mash one-third of the beans using a potato masher to thicken if wanted, next serve with toasted pita.
