Thank you so much Mam such a delicious recipe., I’ll try soon????????
Very good version of hummus without sesame paste or garlic. I like to use less salt and add 2 tablespoons of yogurt to make it creamier and tangier.
Didina, sounds good
I have tried making a version of hummus without garlic that is plain, no spinach.
I used this recipe as a base and added a bit of miso paste (miso is a fermented soybean paste, a sort of cousin of soy sauce, from Japanese cuisine; I found one made locally in Tuscany from chickpeas and millet and used that). I think miso can help in some recipes where garlic would give food a bit of depth, such as sauces, soups and dips.
Another nice addition to hummus would be sumac if you can find it.
Mam ,Palak to be raw or steamed?
Lata. palak is uncooked but remove all the stems
Mam wanted ti knw the spinach we add has to be blanched or raw
Hi, I like your recipes very much. can we use blanched spinach or it should be raw in the hummus?
hi manjula ji,thank u so much for the recipe.this seems so full of nutrients. i was wondering what is shelf life of this?? i mean if i keep in fridge,how long it will stay fine?
2nd ques is abt use of olive oil.can i skip that?
3rd ques is abt chick peas, if i use normal chickpeas,i need to soak them n steam them in pressure cooker before using them??
Lavee, you can keep the 3-4 days in fridge, you do need to use some oil, and yes you use the steamed chickpea
