Hummus variations – classic & creative

Hummus is a traditional oriental dip or spread made from cooked, pureed chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice and garlic.

Since we like to give every meal an Ayurvedic twist to make it easier to digest, we have our very own hummus recipe – and not just one!

For the Ayurvedic version, we gently roast the garlic in ghee and refine the hummus with our Lavana Spice Mix . Those who prefer a spicier flavor can also add some Vyosha Spice Mix .

Basic recipe: Ayurvedic hummus

Ingredients:

• 250 g cooked chickpeas

• 1 tbsp tahini (sesame paste)
