Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 3 tablespoons tahini
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons curry powder (adjust to taste)
  • 1 to 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons water or aquafaba (liquid from chickpeas)

Optional Variations

  • Pinch of cayenne pepper or chopped fresh chili (for spicy kick)
  • 1/4 cup roasted red peppers, blended in
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro or mint, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon vegan (dairy-free) yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare Chickpeas: Drain and rinse the canned chickpeas thoroughly to remove excess sodium and improve texture. For an ultra-smooth hummus, peel the skins by gently rubbing the chickpeas between your hands, though this step is optional.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a food processor, add the chickpeas, tahini, minced garlic, lemon juice, curry powder, salt, and pepper. Begin processing, gradually drizzling in olive oil and water or aquafaba to reach a creamy consistency.
  3. Adjust Seasonings: Taste the hummus and adjust curry powder, salt, and lemon juice according to your preference for a bolder or milder flavor.
  4. Serve or Store: Transfer the curry hummus to a serving bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and optionally sprinkle extra curry powder or fresh herbs for garnish. Serve immediately or refrigerate for later use.

Notes

  • Use fresh curry powder for the most vibrant flavor as spices lose potency over time.
  • Drain chickpeas well to prevent the hummus from becoming too runny.
  • For silken smooth texture, peeling chickpea skins is recommended but optional.
  • Pulse the food processor in bursts to avoid overheating and better control texture.
  • Adjust the amount of olive oil and water gradually to achieve the desired creaminess.
