How can I even dream of having a Pita bread without this yummy creamy dip --> Hummus of course. :) Like many other cuisines, Mediterranean was also introduced to me by my hubby dear. He loves Hummus and now, me too :D And thats how I ended trying to make it at home.

  • Garbanzo Beans / Chick Peas - 2 C
  • Tahini (Sesame Seed Paste) - 1/2 C
  • Lemon Juice - 1/2 C
  • Garlic cloves - 3
  • Salt - 1/2 t
  • Citric acid - 1/4 t
  • Water - 2 T
  • Mint Leaves - a few




For garnishing
  • Parsley - 2 T
  • Cayenne Pepper or Paprika - 1 t
  • Olive Oil - 1/4 C




Method 
  • In a food processor, add the garbonzo beans, garlic, lemon juice and salt, blend until smooth. 
  • Next add yogurt, tahini, water, citric acid and mint leaves.
  • Spread the hummus in a plate and garnish with parsley, cayenne pepper and olive oil.
  • Serve with pita bread.

    This is one of my all time fav recipes and such an easy dinner recipe as well na..we usually pair it with some grilled onions and tomatoes..I also suggest you char the garlic cloves lightly, gives such a lovely flavour !
