Hummus


Ingredient:
1. Dried chickpeas (garbanzo beans) – 1 cup
2. Tahini – 1/4 cup
3. Lemon juice – 1/4 cup
4. Olive oil – 1/4 cup
5. Garlic – 2 cloves
6. Cumin powder – 1 tsp
Chili powder – 1/2 tsp
7. Salt
Soak the chickpeas in water overnight. Cook the chickpeas till it is done. Let it cool. Reserve a bit of cooking water. In a food processor combine all the ingredients except cumin powder. If the mixture is too thick add reserved cooking water and adjust the consistency. Its usually made in a paste form and not watery, hence adjust the texture accordingly. Sprinkle cumin and chili powder on top and drizzle some olive oil. Serve with warm pita bread.
