Hummus is a middle eastern and Arabic food dip made from cooked, mashed chickpeas blended with tahini, olive oil, salt, garlic. Hummus is high in iron and vitamin C, a significant amount of folate and B6.
I feel making Hummus at home is fairly easy and you know the right content and quantity so that not much need to store it for long.
I always use the fresh chickpeas and soak them overnight and pressure cook in the morning with enough water. You don’t need to buy Tahini from the store as well since you don’t need too much of it. It is easier to prefer along with the hummus and shared the recipe for preparing Tahini at home which won’t take much of your time.
You can prepare it beforehand and leave in the fridge so that you don’t have to spend more time while hosting a party or when the guest arrives.
