Ingredients
  

  • 100 g sesame seeds
  • 200 g chickpeas 
  • 2 lemon juice
  • ½ tsp garlic paste
  • Salt (for taste)
  • 3 - 4 tsp vegetable oil 
  • 2 tsp Olive oil (for garnishing)

Instructions
 

  • Prepare The Tahini: Gently roast the sesame seeds in any non-stick pan. It would take around 2 to 3 minutes. 
  • Grind The Roasted Sesame Seeds: Now grind the sesame seeds in the food processor. Also, add 3 tablespoons of vegetable or any cooking oil for creaminess. I understand that making Tahini from roasted sesame seeds is time-consuming. It typically takes around 8 to 10 minutes, and I usually switch the juicer on and off about 12 to 13 times during this process.
  • Add All Ingredients: Add boiled chickpeas, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic paste in the juicer and grind all the stuff. Add ice cubes of 1/2 cup of ice water for a creamy and fluffy texture. My juicer gives me the fluffy dip after 8 rounds, and I've added 1/3 cup of water between these rounds to get the subtle consistency. 
  • Finally, the Hummus is now ready. Drizzle some olive oil and put chickpeas over the final dish to make it more appealing.
