Hummus is one of the favourites in our home and the best part is that it is healthy too! High in protein, fibre and packed with nutrients. I usually make it either with pita bread or just eat with carrot, cucumber or celery!!
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 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.
Preparing the fresh Tahini has a lovely nutty flavour. 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.
Add little water to it if required and if hummus looks a bit dry then add some olive oil. You can add jalapenos and olives when serving.
Enjoy this healthy dip with nachos, pita bread or garlic sticks.
