When I was younger the thought of hummus was not a delicious one. But over the years it has become one of the staples in my diet.

I had never made homemade hummus before, but I found this cookinglight.com recipe and had to test it out; Cumin Curried Hummus. When I studied abroad in Australia I fell in love with the curry flavor and the combination of the two sounded like the perfect snack.


Cumin Curried Hummus
Yields 3 cups
What you need:
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1 tablespoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
1/2 cup water
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 (15 1/2-ounce) cans chickpeas (garbanzo beans), rinsed and drained

What to do:
Heat oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add garlic; cook 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Add curry and cumin; cook 30 seconds or until fragrant, stirring constantly.

Place garlic mixture, water, and remaining ingredients in a food processor; process until smooth.

Serve with pitas, chips or veggies.
