Hummus your way to Health!
A middle-eastern delight, Hummus has now won over hearts and kitchens all over the world. It’s creamy, nutty and versatile. Know the best part? You can whip it up in a jiffy with a handful of simple and readily available ingredients. Chickpeas are known to be great source of calcium, magnesium and fiber; help with better digestion and give you stronger bones too. That makes Hummus a win-win dish when it comes to health and taste.

- ½ cup tahini/roasted sesame seeds
- ¼ cup Milliare's Extra Virgin Wood Pressed Olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- ½ cup water to adjust consistency
- ½ tsp salt (kosher/sea salt)
Let’s get started:
- Process the tahini/sesame seeds and olive oil to achieve a smooth paste.
- Next, add the chickpeas, garlic, lemon juice, water and salt and blend until smooth.
- Garnish with a dash of chilli flakes, a swirl of olive oil, toasted nuts and seeds or chopped coriander/mint – as per your choice.
- Smile, your hummus is ready! ☺
Expert’s tip:
Using pure quality raw olive oil like Milliare’s Extra Virgin Wood Pressed Olive Oil can make a remarkable difference to the flavor!
Slather it onto pita bread, whole wheat toast, homemade bhakri/khakhra or enjoy as a velvety dip with veggies or potato wedges.
