So thought I'd kick off this year's blogging with a couple of simple things I tried recently. Here's to hoping this year is a productive one for the Kadhai Sisterhood ;)
I've been meaning to try to make my own hummus since I had some at a friend's house a couple of years go but never quite got around to it...until yesterday! It was so easy and so good, I don't know why I waited so long. (I should have taken pictures...from next time I definitely will)
Ingredients:
1 cap Chickpeas
2 tbsp Tahini / Sesame Paste
1-2 tbsp Olive Oil
3 cloves Garlic
1-2 tsp chill powder
1/2 tsp cumin powder
(I'm sure the spices could be pretty much anything...I kept it simple since it was the first time but plan to experiment more)
1 tbsp Lemon juice
Salt to taste
Add all the ingredients to a food processor and blend together. Mine was a little dry so I added a few tbsps of water half way through (could also increase the amount of oil but I was trying to keep it healthier than store bought).
That's it! We served it with home made pita chips - Just whole wheat pita toasted in the oven.
