Achari Hummus

Add this tasty chickpea-based dip to you Diwali snack platter to impress your guests with a tasty, spicy twist on regular hummus.

Ingredients

1 cup Soaked Chickpeas, 2 tbsp Sesame Seeds, 1 tsp Mustard, 1/4 tsp Fenugreek Seeds, 2 Green Chillies, 6-7 Garlic Cloves, 1 tsp Lemon Juice, Pinch of Hing, Salt to taste

Step 1

Soak the sesame seeds for 2 hours, then grind them into a smooth paste.

Step 2

Roast the mustard and fenugreek seeds with a pinch of hing until fragrant, then grind them into a fine powder.

Step 3

Soak the chickpeas overnight, then pressure cook them until soft.

Step 4

In a blender, combine the cooked chickpeas, sesame paste, green chillies, garlic cloves, lemon juice, salt, and powdered spices.

Step 5

Blend until creamy, then transfer the hummus to a serving bowl, and garnish with whole chickpeas and chopped coriander.

Use Ice

While blending, add a few tablespoons of ice water instead of regular water. This helps to create a smoother, creamier texture.

Blend In Short Bursts

Take your time blending the ingredients. The longer you blend, the creamier the hummus will become

Add Tahini

For an even creamier texture, consider adding 2-3 tablespoons of tahini. This sesame seed paste not only adds creaminess but also enhances the flavour.

Add Olive Oil

Drizzling in some extra virgin olive oil while blending can make the hummus silkier and richer.

Use Baking Soda

When soaking the chickpeas, add a pinch of baking soda. This can help soften the chickpeas even further, making them easier to blend into a creamy consistency.
