Tips And Tricks To Make Perfect Hummus
By Sushmita Sengupta
The crown jewel of Mediterranean cuisine, hummus, is a rich, spread or dip made with mashed chickpeas, lemon, garlic and tahini.
Choose The Right Chickpeas
Canned chickpeas are good, but dried chickpeas that are soaked overnight yield best hummus
Salt Bae-ter
Be mindful of the amount of salt, too much can ruin the taste because chickpeas have their own flavour, but the right amount can change the game.
For Velvety Texture
For velvety texture, allow beans to soak overnight, it helps lend them a smooth texture, adding a pinch of baking soda may also help.
Save The Soaked Water
For velvety texture, allow beans to soak overnight, it helps lend them a smooth texture, adding a pinch of baking soda may also help.
Do Not Skip Tahini
Tahini is a sesame seed paste that makes the hummus creamier, olive oil is a good substitute, but nothing beats an OG Tahini.
Lemon Juice For The Win
Giving this creamy, rich dip the much-needed zing is a pinch of lemon juice. So do not forget this balancing ingredient.
