Preparation

Step 1

Place the cooked chana dal or peeled chickpeas in a food processor and pulse for about one minute. Add tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and salt, and pulse the food processor to combine. With the food processor running, add chickpea cooking water one tablespoon at a time, until the hummus reaches your desired consistency. You will need to stop and scrape down the sides a couple of times. Transfer hummus to a bowl, drizzle with a bit of good olive oil, and serve with pita, crackers, and veggies.
