Use the readymade tahini paste or make a batch from scratch at home (watch my Youtube video). Garlic – It gives flavour to the hummus. Add cautiously, as too much raw garlic can make your hummus taste pungent. Olive Oil – A good quality extra virgin olive oil transforms chickpeas into silky smooth goodness. Lemon Juice – It gives flavour to the hummus and cuts down the sharp taste of garlic. Seasoning – Salt, Cumin Powder Ice cold water to blend the hummus.

5 SECRET TIPS To Make Creamy Hummus

Nothing is more satisfying than making a bowl of perfectly creamy, fluffy, light, and tasty hummus. It is one of the quickest and easiest dip recipes. I am sharing tips and tricks to make the BEST HUMMUS ever. Tip 1: While boiling the chickpeas add ¼ teaspoon of baking soda. This helps in breaking them down. Plus, you don’t have to remove the skin of each chickpea. Even if you use canned chickpeas, I insist on boiling them in water with baking soda for 15 minutes. You will notice the difference. Chickpeas should be cooked till they break down completely and are mushy. The perfectly cooked chickpeas define 50% of the texture of the hummus. Tip 2: Use the reserved liquid from the boiled chickpeas to blend the hummus instead of plain water. It is one of the magical ingredients that transforms hummus from ordinary to finger-licking good. Tip 3: There is no hummus without tahini paste. It gives a nutty taste and a creamy texture to the hummus. Hence, do not skip adding it. Tip 4: Add ice-cold water while blending the hummus. It makes the dip fluffy and light in texture. Keep boiled chickpea water in the fridge so that it gets chilled. Use it for blending hummus.
Tip 5: A few extra minutes on the food processor will always give you super creamy hummus. Follow the formula of scrape and blend to get the silky smooth hummus.
