Greetings! My frequency of posting is horrible. I know. Must do something bout it. Soon! This time I bring to you, no not a dessert, but one of my favourite and everyone's most loved 'Hummus'! With a slight twist. Slight, I assure you.
This is a recipe I've tried out from BBC GoodFood India's amazing magazines that I subscribe to. Every month I'm eagerly awaiting my issue and once it arrives, there is little else I can think of. Literally. It goes with me everywhere till I haven't licked it clean. If you have any interest in cooking/baking/experimenting with recipes, this magazine is a must! Apart from easy and quick triple tested recipes, it contains updates from the food industry, goss on the latest/best places to dine as well as local and international specials. Get your copy here!
An Indian take on the Classic Hummus, this recipe is super easy to put together. Serve with good quality pita bread. I haven't gotten down to making Pita on my own yet. I just bought it from Moshe's and it was perfect. Feel free to go for store bought pita, just make sure it's the right store.

Red Onion and Indian-Spiced Hummus
Serves 2-3
Ingredients:
2 tbsp olive oil
400g chickpeas (boiled)
1/2 tsp fennel seeds
1 tsp coriander seeds
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 red onion, thinly sliced
Juice of 1/2 a lemon
1 tbsp tahini paste
2 tsp coriander, finely chopped
Salt to taste
Pita bread
Paprika (optional)
Method:
- Heat about 1 tbsp of oil in a pan and fry the onions till soft and light brown. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
- Toast all the spices on a low heat, then remove from the heat and grind to make a powder.
- In a food processor, blitz the chickpeas, tahini, spices, red onion, lemon juice, coriander and salt until smooth or till a little chunky, as you may desire.
- Empty in a bowl and drizzle with the remaining olive oil.
- The recipe doesn't call for it, but I dressed my hummus with liberal amounts of Paprika. Cannot get enough of it.
- Warm the pita bread and serve with the hummus.
Cheers!
