Cilantro Jalapeno Hummus can be served as a dip or as a spread. It is a comforting way of substituting fat, which is very tasty and simple to make at home.
When we tasted this homemade recipe, my teen son and I became great fans of Coriander Jalapeno Hummus. Being a teen, he needs lots of protein every day. But I had a tough time in including it in his junky world. Other than Chenna masala, no recipes could meet his criteria. But this hummus made him flattened.
This easy recipe can be made fresh whenever needed. And it stays good in the refrigerator for about 2 days. The original, traditional recipe required Tahini Sauce, but I have not included it while making it, as I make it fresh whenever needed.
Remove the skin of the Chickpea/Chenna if you have time and patience. Removing the skin is needed for the ultra-smooth and delicate texture. I want to include some fiber and am very satisfied with the results.
