Hummus with homemade tahini-I made hummus with pressure cooked chickpeas. I soaked it for 8 hours then pressure cooked it. This is classic hummus with no artificial flavors. I made this hummus with Mixie jar and the end result is same as you get in food processor but have to blend it for few extra minutes.
How to cook Chickpea
Soak Chickpea/ garbanzo beans for 8 hours or over night and pressure cook it with some water and baking soda for 6-7 whisltles or cook chickpea in Instant pot.
Ingredients for Hummus
Chickpea is the star of the recipe you can use chickpea either with skin or without . To get that extra creamy Hummus use chickpea without skin. cook the chickpea and just rub it with your fingers so that you can peel the skin easily
Tahini is a nutty and slightly bitter paste made of roasted seasame seeds
Garlic gives nice flavour and taste in hummus but do not add more
Fresh lemon juice adds good tangy taste to the hummus
Extra virgin olive oil we drizzle it over the hummus while serving
Cumin / jeera powder gives nice flavour and taste but this is optional i like this in my hummus.
