Soak and cook 1 cup of chickpeas with some salt, or use canned chickpeas and discard the liquid.

Dry roast cumin seeds and coriander seeds for about 2 to 3 minutes until they release aroma and change color, then let them cool down.

Add the cooked chickpeas to a blender.

Add jalapenos (or green chillies/green pepper) for spiciness, chopped ginger, and the roasted coriander cumin mixture.

Add a handful of cilantro leaves for flavor and some salt, adjusting for any salt already in the chickpeas.

Add lemon juice for tanginess and olive oil to taste.

Pulse the mixture first, then blend until smooth. If needed, add water for consistency, but note that this will reduce storage time.

Transfer to a serving dish and top with olive oil, toasted sesame seeds, and red pepper if desired.
