Hummus recipe|How to make Hummus

Hummus is a middle eastern chickpea based dip.It is now enjoyed worldwide.

Hummus is  a proof that best tastes dont need complicated techniques of cooking.It only needs a few ingredients a nd a mixer.What we usually do with chickpeas is make 

Punjabi Chole Masala or chana masala or chana pulao.But food blogging gives me the joy of trying out new dishes and then share that with world.

Hummus can do much more than just cling to a croot or cucumber stick.It can be added to salads,sandwiches,rolls,breads,crackers etc.What more .......it is so simple to make at home.It is only the sequence of ingredients that you have to take care of.

I was introduced to Hummus for the first time by a friend,an Australian resident,who was visiting India.She was praisin g this guilt free dip and I was staring hard at her.That was when she explained me all about it.I tasted it and was bowled over instantly.
