Ingredients

  • 1 cup Boiled Chickpeas
  • 2 tbsp White Sesame Seeds
  • 2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 3 cloves Garlic
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Tandoori Masala
  • 1/4 cup Sliced Onions
  • 1 Red Chilli

Instructions

  1. For Hummus the most important thing is a base of Tahini, though you can do it without that but if you want the taste to be closer to the original using Tahini makes a better choice.

  2. Roast sesame seeds for two mins and then add them in blender with some water and 1/2 tsp olive oil and make a paste gradually. First it would become coarse and then will slowly in couple of more pulses, will turn into more creamy texture.

  3. Keep the Tahini aside and saute onions with 1/2 tsp oil and then add Tandoori Masala , chopped red chilli and cook for another minute till onions get the tandoori flavour.

  4. Take the blender and add chickpeas , garlic, onions with tandoori masala, salt, black pepper, lemon juice and 2 tbsp of Tahini and start the blender.

  5. With every pulse chickpeas will become more and more creamy, you might have to add some water so it blends well.

  6. Check the seasonings and adjust as per taste and then serve with baked pita bread or toast and enjoy.
