Furthermore, I would like to share some tips for easy hummus recipe. Firstly, In this recipe, I have used canned chickpeas. If you don’t have canned peas, then soak a cup of dry chickpeas overnight with enough water. Then drain and cook them with fresh water and salt until tender.

Secondly, if you don’t have tahini paste, dry roast white sesame seeds on medium-low heat until it turns golden brown or until nice aroma comes, let it cool down for some time. Place them in a food processor until it forms a crumbly paste. Then add a pinch of salt and few tablespoons of light olive oil, make a smooth paste.

Finally, you can serve the hummus with fresh homemade pita bread or you can also serve it with crackers, raw dip vegetables like carrot and cucumber.
