My daughter's dinner plate
method
Grind ingredients 1 to 5 altogether.Add little water which used to cook chick peas. Make a thick paste. Pour olive oil on top. Use with sandwich, chappathi, arabic roti(khubz) etc.
You can also make this without adding sesame paste. Instead of lemon juice add yogurt. And if you like to make it little spicy add 1 teaspoon pepper powder.
You can keep this for about 3 or 4 days in the refrigerator. In freezer , keep up to one month.
Also this a best and healthy sandwich spread.

Seena, the plate is really tempting! i love hummus.. :))
ReplyDeleteyour new template looks good!
ReplyDeleteSam,
You can keep it in fridge up to 3 or 4 days.
I think it is better we make hummus at home than getting from out side. We can change its taste by increasing/decreasing the ingredients like garlic, lemon juice and tahina..
try it, if your kids love it, it is very healthy for them..
this is a perfect thing with roti and for sandwich, thanks for the recipe:)
