HUMMUS
Hummus, also spelled houmous, is a Middle Eastern dip, spread, or savory dish made from cooked, mashed chickpeas blended with tahini, lemon juice, and garlic. The standard garnish in the Middle East includes olive oil, a few whole chickpeas, parsley, and paprika.
Hummus is a rich, creamy paste that’s full of umami flavor. Garlicky, tangy and savory, hummus has a smooth texture that pairs easily with crispy pita and fresh veggies.
Hummus is a truly nutritious snack that is good to include in your daily diet in moderation and when combined with a diverse range of food. Hummus can be a part of the daily diet if consumed in moderation, and the rest of the diet contains a diverse range of foods.

NOTES
- Roasted til grinded with olive oil is called tahini paste .
- I did not add water ,if you want sprinkle few drops while grinding or add a ice cube while grinding , it gives a fluffy texture .
- Removing the outer skin of the chick peas gives a smooth texture to the paste. It is ok if you don’t peel.
- It was tasty and tasted like our Indian dal chutney.
- I also added a pinch of red chilli pwdr while grinding but it is optional.
- For variation you can add mixed herbs or chilli flakes or pepper pwdr or roasted bell pepper or olives .
- For Indian touch you can sprinkle roasted jeera pwdr or you can grind coriander /mint leaves together.
