Equipment

  • Blender / Food Processor

Ingredients

  • 1 1 cup / 180g Chickpeas
  • 1 Medium sized Red bell pepper
  • 1 Medium-sized Onion
  • 2 Garlic Cloves
  • 2 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 2 tbsp  Olive Oil extra virgin
  • 3 tbsp Tahini
  • 1.5 tbsp Cumin powder
  • 0.5/1 tsp Red chili powder 
  • 0.5 tsp Pink salt
  • salt to taste

Instructions

Roasting the red bell pepper and onions: 

  • De-seed the bell peppers and cut it into 4 – 6 large pieces.
  • Cut the onion into 4 pieces. Place all of these on a baking tray and roast for 25-30 mins.
  • The skin of the pepper needs to be charred. Let it cool and then remove the skin of the pepper.

Boiling the chickpeas: 

  • Pressure cook the chickpeas with about 3.5 cups of water and some salt.
  • This would require 4 whistles and about 10 mins of simmering on low heat.
  • Let the pressure release naturally by cooling for 20 mins and then open the cooker.

  •  If you want to avoid this step, you can also use 1 can of chickpeas instead. 
  • Add the slightly warm chickpeas with all the other ingredients – roasted onion and red pepper, garlic, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, cumin powder, chili powder, pink salt and salt in the blender. Blend for 30 secs.

  • Add 3 – 4 ice cubes and continue blending to form a smooth paste.  
  • Add water to adjust the consistency as required.  
  • (Optional) You can serve it with extra olive oil on the top. I generally avoid this as I try to cut out extra calories wherever possible.
