Ingredients

• 1/2 cup Chickpeas
• 1 tsp Sesame seeds, dry roasted in a pan
• 1 tsp Parsley, dry
• 1 tsp Thyme, dry
• 1/2 tsp Dry mango powder (Amchoor)
• 1/2 tsp Cumin Powder (jeera powder)
• 2 tbsp cold pressed extra virgin Olive oil for blending in hummus
• 1 tbsp cold pressed, extra virgin Olive oil for garnishing
• Tamarind pulp to taste (I used 1 inch of tamarind soaked in 1 1/2 tbsp water then drained)
• Red chili powder to taste
• Salt to taste
• 2 tbsp plant-based curd, optional (I used peanut and millet rice curd)

Instructions

1. Soak the chickpeas for 3-5 hours, remembering not to soak overnight during Paryushan.
2. Pressure cook for 3-4 whistles, keeping them slightly under-cooked but soft enough to break with hands.
3. Once they have cooled down, add them to the blender along with roasted sesame seeds and a little water. You can use the boiling water of chickpea.
4. Don't add a lot of water at first, keep adding slowly as much as required to make this into a smooth paste.
5. Make the hummus consistency just a little thinner than you would like.
6. Now add the rest of the ingredients and blend again.
7. When we blend with olive oil, the texture becomes very nice and creamy, and the hummus will turn a little thicker as well.
8. Taste and adjust salt/tamarind pulp as per your taste.
9. Transfer to a bowl and garnish with dry herbs, red chili powder, and olive oil.

Notes

I did a few experiments and came up with this that I really enjoyed. I am usually not that fussy but got this tested by my husband, he is difficult to please. If he likes it, I am sure everyone will enjoy this hummus!
