Steps to prepare Desi Style Channa Hummus

  1. Toast Sesame Seeds
    - Heat a pan on medium flame and add the sesame seeds. Dry roast them until they turn golden brown. This should take about 2-3 minutes. Set them aside to cool.
  2. Sauté Garlic, Blend Chickpeas
    - In the same pan, add desi ghee and minced garlic cloves. Sauté them until they turn golden and release their aromatic essence. Take the boiled black channas and add them to a food processor. Blend them until they reach a smooth, creamy consistency.
  3. Add Spices and Blend
    - Now, incorporate the roasted sesame seeds, cumin powder, red chilli powder, and salt into the blended channas. Pulse it all together until well combined. Pour in the sautéed garlic along with the desi ghee into the mixture. Blend once again to ensure all flavors meld harmoniously.
  4. Squeeze Lemon, Adjust Seasoning
    - Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice into the mixture. Blend once more to incorporate the zesty goodness. Taste your hummus and add more salt or spices if needed. Adjust it to your personal preference.
  5. Serve with Garnish
    - Scoop the hummus into a bowl, creating a delightful swirl pattern. Top it off with a drizzle of extra desi ghee and a sprinkle of cumin powder for that extra burst of flavor.

Additional Notes:

This Desi Style Channa Hummus pairs splendidly with warm, fluffy naan bread, crunchy vegetable sticks, or crispy papadums. It's also an excellent companion to your favorite Indian snacks like samosas and pakoras. For a unique twist, use it as a spread in sandwiches or wraps for an unforgettable taste experience.
