Hummus | How to make 4 types of Hummus

Hummus is a dip made from boiled chickpeas (Choley), spices flavoured with garlic and olive oil.

I remember having Hummus with Pita Bread at Ricos. That was the first time I had it. Though at first I didnt appreciate it but over time, I became a huge fan.

Soon, it became a custom to make hummus at home. The only thing I had to do was to boil choley..Whenever I would soak choley for the curry, my husband will make his gentle request to make hummus also.

One weekend, I started making choley rice and I knew I had to make hummus too but somehow I missed it. I served lunch but my husband was interested in something else. But now we had tadka choley. So I took a handful of those and made hummus of it. It was good just slighly dark in color tone..

Rest is not at all a tough task. Boiled chickpeas, Garlic, Spices, salt, Lemon Juice and

.Most important Olive Oil…

Isnt it super easy for a dip thats delicious and healthy!!

After years of making classic hummus, this time I experimented with other flavours and it was totally worth trying!

Recipe Insights

I made beetroot, Roasted Garlic Pumpkin and Green Bell Pepper Hummus..

Which one was great in taste?

Its a tough call. I would say everyone had mixed responses. I liked the beetroot and green peppers one the most.

My husband liked classic and Pumpkin one and our kids liked perhaps all four. Little one kept asking for second helping of pumpkin one though her focus was more on color..

Why dont you try them all and find out which one becomes your favourite?

For four variants, I added all the ingredients in four bowls to blend them one by one.
For chickpeas, I had boiled choley in advance.

Similarly, I was making pumpkin Pancakes previous day, so had pumpkin puree (boiled and mashed pumpkin) leftover from it.

The beetroot was also boiled in the process of making beetroot brownies.
So, with all boiled stuff its matter of few minutes of pulsing to get the beautiful colored Hummus.

Instructions

 

• Gather all the ingredients together. For four hummus, I added all the ingredients in four bowls to blend them one by one. For chickpeas, I had boiled choley in advance. Similarly, I was making pumpkin Pancakes previous day, so had pumpkin puree(boiled and mashed pumpkin) leftover from it. The beetroot was also boiled a in the process of making beetroot brownies. S, with all boiled stuff its matter of few minutes of pulsing to get the beautiful colored Hummus. In Beetroot, I had added less of red chilly as beetroot dominates the whole flavour and since its on sweeter side, no point to add more chilly. In green bell pepper, I have added lot of chilly as it makes it really amazing!!
  
• The four variants of hummus are ready!!! Enjoy!!
