Hey all ! Here I am with another interesting
yet healthy recipe.."Hummus" is one of my
personal favourite :-) This dip can be eaten
on its own or with chips or bread or salad..
This dip is very rich in protein & can be
easily made at home :-) Lets begin :-)
HOME MADE HUMMUS RECIPE:Recipe cuisine: Continental / Recipe category: Snack
Prep time: 8 hrs soaking time/ cook time: 30 mins
INGREDIENTS:White chickpeas (Channa): 1 cup
Olive oil : 4 tblsp
White sesame seeds : 2 tblsp
Lemon juice : 4 tblsp
Salt : As needed
Garlic (roasted / boiled) : 2 flake (optional)
METHOD:
Soak the chickpeas over night.
Boil the same till it becomes soft.
Drain & keep the water for later.
Roast the sesame seeds till golden
brown colour. Let it cool down.
Now in a blender, add boiled
chickpeas / roasted sesame seeds /
Olive oil / lemon juice / salt.
At this stage, add garlic if you want.
Grind it till forms a smooth paste.
Enjoy tasty & healthy hummus :-)
(My personal favourite is hummus
with pita bread :-) )
NOTE:
* Soaking chickpeas overnight is
imporatnt. If not it will not be soft.
* Original recipe has garlic in it.
Garlic can either be roasted or
boiled before using.
* Only olive oil gives the best tatse.
Please do not use any other oil.
* The skin of chickpeas can be
removed after boiling (optional)
* Canned chickpeas can also be used.
* While grinding, add little bit of water
from boiled chickpeas. This will make
the dip smooth & tasty :-)
* I have added some chilly flakes &
seasoning on top of the hummus in the
pictures. It is for decoration purpose &
optional.
