Hummus is quick, easy, healthy, delicious. I can make a batch in 10 minutes. OK, so that might be five minutes longer than a traditional hummus but I like to take a couple of extra steps. And I don't use all of the traditional ingredients. I used the following ingredients for this batch:
- 1 can chickpeas, drained of half the liquid
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (more is optional)
- half a large onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, smashed and chopped
- 1 tsp sambar powder
- 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper
- 1/4 tsp ground allspice
- salt to taste
I ate this with a stack of carrot sticks but it certainly goes with dozens of things. In a pita, in a tortilla, with crackers, on toast, as a dip, as a sandwich spread...

There IS always room for hummus.I love your take on this recipe and the inclusion of sambar powder.
I think I'm addicted to sambar powder. I just love it on everything.
Hummus or hoummous or however it is written is one of my favourits. I have never heard of sambar powder, shall see if I can get some to try it. Thanks for visiting.
Ivy, you can probably order sambar powder online or find it at an Indian grocery. Or you can make it yourself. There are recipes online and I even have a link to my recipe in the blog entry. Everyone's recipe is a little different but they all taste good!
Hummus is great for snacking anyday. I also make it with Black eyed peas. Photo is great!:)
