Method

  • To Make Tahini:.
  • In food processor, with blade attachment, blend sesame seeds until they begin to look like flour.
  • Slowly add oil.
  • You decide how much oil it takes to smooth it to a thin paste.
  • I had measured out 1/2 cup, but did not use all of it.
  • To Make Hummous:.
  • Add chickpeas, garlic, onion powder, lemon juice and kosher salt to the food processor.
  • Blend until smooth.
  • If it is too thick you can use a small amount of olive oil to the mix.
  • Flavor to taste.
  • If you need more garlic, add it.
  • Same if you need more lemon, onion etc.
  • Once you have it blended, sprinkle some Garam Masala and blend to mix.
  • Refrigerate any leftovers if you have any.
