Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cups Boiled Chickpeas (Choley)
  • 3 tablespoon olive oil I have used Figaro
  • 2 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 small Green Chiili
  • 1 teaspoon Jeera(Cumin)

Instructions
 

  • Take Boiled Chickpeas. For boiling chickpeas (choley), I dip raw choley in normal water fully submerged overnight (or 3 hrs before in warm water). Strain the dipped water and add choley in pressure cooker with water and salt. 2 whistles on full flame and simmer for 20 min.

  • Add Lemon Juice.
  • Add Olive Oil. I have used Figaro Olive Oil. Generally hummus tastes better with olive oil. I have added Olive oil step by step. while blending and I have added water as well. This is because Chickpeas are dry and they absorb the oil and water soon. So blending step by step can help you control ratios of oil.
    add coffe mix and milk in blender
  • The blended Hummus looks like this. Its smooth and you can test for salt etc. If anything you feel is missing, add now and pulse for one sec. Generally it takes 2-3 min to blend it.
    add milk gradually to blender
  • The Hummus is ready. Serve it with your choice of bread.
