So my tried and tested Hummus recipe, for the slightly zingy hummus that the Indian palate craves...
A handful of chickpeas ( soaked overnight and pressure-cooked)
Throw the chickpeas into a blender with the following:
3-4 cloves of garlic, 2 Tbs of curd, a handful of mint leaves, some white sesame (til), red chilli flakes ( leftovers from a Pizza delivery), salt, some peanut butter(optional).
Add the water in which the chickpeas were cooked (if the mixture looks coarse).
Blend to a almost fine paste.
Throw in some olive oil and serve with toasted french bread or pita.
Hint: The Hummus absorbs its flavors if served cold, a couple of hours, after it is made and hence tastes nicer.
