    This spicy Indian curry hummus is made from blended chana masala seasoned chickpeas, with a hint of of tomato, and lots of garlic, cilantro and ginger.

    Indian Curry Hummus


    I eat a lot of hummus. Nearly all of it is homemade. In fact, I pretty much always have at least one batch of homemade hummus stashed away in the fridge, along with all of your basic hummus ingredients. There's nothing quite like a dish of creamy hummus to round out a salad or slather on a sandwich.

    I usually go for simple hummus flavored with the bare essentials of lemon and garlic, but because I eat so much of the stuff, I'm always looking out for new and interesting things to throw in.

    The idea behind this hummus is unbelievably simple. I took most of the basic ingredients for chana masala and blended them together. I'm not totally sure how I ended up at that, but I believe my initial idea was to add cilantro. Then I threw in some more spices, and before I knew it, I realized I had filled my food processor with chana masala. I hit the blend button and a delicious Indian curry hummus was born.

    I usually eat my hummus on pita bread, but in this case I thought naan seemed appropriate. If you're looking for a flavor-packed hummus, this is it. It's a little spicy, loaded with cilantro, and very savory. Definitely a more festive hummus flavor, for which reason I thought it might be a good one to share just before we all celebrate the coming of 2015.

      Great article! I recently received RawSpiceBar's garam masala and tandoori spices for making chicken tikka masala and it was pretty spot on. It's tough to find freshly ground kashmiri chiles and other high quality hard to find spices. Look forward to receiving next month's spice blends from them and worth looking into if you're an adventurous cook.
