There are probably very few dips as versatile as a good Hummus. A good one can even get your kids to eat their veggies! We all know hummus is made from chickpeas and packed with protein, but this recipe by nutritionist and food expert Dhvani Shah takes Hummus to the next level.
Here is a Hummus dip that is not just rich in protein but also rich in calcium. Calcium is extremely important to maintain and build strong bones. The heart, muscles and nerves also require calcium to function properly. This dip uses seeds, spinach, yoghurt and chickpeas to create something that is healthy, creamy and satisfying!
Here is what you will need.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup white chick peas
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 4 tbsp curd
- 2 tbsp watermelon seeds
- 2 tbsp tahini (sesame paste)
- 1/2 cup spinach cooked
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 tsp chilli powder
- Salt to taste
METHOD
- Soak the white chick peas in water for 6 hours making sure that they are covered with water. Cook in a pressure cooker with salt. Cool and drain. Keep the drained liquid aside.
- Put the watermelon seeds, tahini paste, spinach, oil, lemon juice, curds, cooked chick peas, garlic, salt and some of the strained water in a blender and blend until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add 2 to 3 tablespoons of drained water.
