Creamy Hummus - Vegan, Low Fat recipe

The Food Blogger in me misses talking to you all. I started this blog a few years ago as a way of documenting my food journey. I love the interaction with fellow bloggers and readers. Life sometimes takes a different turn and you lose focus in something. I lost a bit of focus in my blog when I started running. It takes up so much of my time, that I struggle to juggle!

Anyways, I am going to make an extra effort to click and post all the new things that are happening in my kitchen. Hope you will join me again as you did the first time I started this journey.

Today's recipe is super simple. We all love a good hummus. Be it in a wrap or sandwich, or as a dip with some breadsticks or crackers. And it is easy to pick up a tub from the supermarket. But trust me, it is easier and definitely healthier to make your own. The key to a creamy hummus is to use the chickpea water .




Ingredients

Chick peas 1 can
Olive Oil 1 tbsp
Chilli Powder 1 tsp
Cumin Powder 1/2 tsp
Garlic 2 pods
Lime Juice 2 tbsp
Salt and Pepper to taste

Method of Preparation

1. Add the chick peas from the can to the blender along with the water. If you are cooking your own chickpeas, add a little bit of the cooking liquid with the chick peas.

2. Add the rest of the ingredients other than oil. Blend together till you get a creamy consistency.

3. Finally add the oil and blend one more time.
