I started making my own personal hummus recipe when I was vegan and ready to skill for snack foods that made me feel full but didn’t make me feel gross (my citrus curry carrots recipe also fits the bill). Chickpeas fit the bill perfectly, but you can only eat so much plan hummus before the thought of it makes you recoil. What’s a newbie vegan to do when faced with a boring-food challenge? ADD CILANTRO! And tomatoes, and onion, and garam masala.
A hummus recipe with garam marsala?
The idea to add garam marsala to hummus came from Post Punk Kitchen, and now it’s my favorite way to prepare chickpeas. This hummus recipe will give you a nice, almost mexican tasting dip, great for chips, pita bread, or sandwiches. I actually add a butt-load more cilantro than the recipe calls for, but I’m just weird like that. But even still, this is a cilantro-lovers recipes.
This hummus is a great compliment for a hot day and case of Corona… !
