Classic Hummus Recipe | Make Hummus at Home | Chef Ranveer Brar | Easy & Simple Recipe

tahini

🥗Healthier: sunflower seed butter

💰Cheaper: peanut butter

Sunflower seed butter is nut-free and offers a similar creamy texture.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is more affordable and has a neutral flavor.

Start with boiled chickpeas in a large food processor.

Add garlic to the processor.

Add tahini paste (or make your own if unavailable).

Carefully add salt, keeping in mind that the chickpeas may already have salt from boiling.

Slowly drizzle in olive oil (or flavored oil) in a continuous stream to emulsify.

Ensure the mixture does not get too hot while blending; if it does, it won't rise properly. If needed, add an ice cube to keep the temperature down.

Blend until thick and creamy, balancing the sharpness of raw garlic with chickpeas and oil.

Add a splash of lemon juice and a little more salt to taste.

Grill pita bread with a little olive oil on the gas stove, pressing it down to ensure even heating.

Sprinkle chili flakes and coriander on the grilled pita bread before serving with hummus.
