Ingredients
  

Boiling Chickpeas:

Making Hummus:

  • ¼ cup Tahini
  • ¼ cups Olive Oil
  • 2-3 cloves Garlic
  • 2-3 tablespoon Lemon Juice
  • 4-5 Ice Cubes (if needed)
  • Salt

Instructions
 

Boiling Chickpeas:

  • Add 1 cup of chickpeas along with 2 cups of water in an Instant Pot and close the lid. With vent in the sealing, position pressure cook for 30 minutes.
  • Open the lid and let it cool completely.
  • (Note: Chickpeas should mash when pressed between the two fingers. If not then you can add Baking Soda to them and mix).

Making Hummus:

  • In a food processor, add Tahini Sauce & Olive Oil and process until smooth.
  • Add chickpeas and continue to blend until well combined. Then add Garlic, Salt, & Lemon Juice and process until creamy.
  • (Note: The longer you process, the smoother Hummus is gonna be. Also if the hummus is too thick, add ice-cubes - that way it will retain the texture and make the hummus creamier.)
  • Transfer in a bowl, sprinkle some olive oil on top of the Hummus. I have also added some Cayenne Pepper that has given a nice color to the Hummus.
  • Serve in a bowl with your favorite Pita Chips & Veggies. It can also be added to wraps & rolls.

Notes

PEEL THE MEMBRANES: If you have time and you want to make hummus extra creamy & smooth, then peel membranes off from cooked chickpeas.
If in a hurry, you can also make Hummus using the canned Chickpeas. I like making with freshly cooked chickpeas because I always have chickpeas at home.
HOW TO KNOW IF CHICKPEAS ARE BOILED PROPERLY: Chickpeas should mash when pressed between two fingers. If they don't mash between your fingers, you can add Baking Soda to them and mix.
FOR CREAMIER TEXTURE:
1. The longer you process, the smoother Hummus is gonna be.
2. Also if the hummus is too thick, add ice-cubes - that way it will retain the texture and make the hummus creamier.
