Cilantro Jalapeno Hummus can be served as the dip or as a spread. It is a comforting way of substituting fat, very tasty and very simple to make at home.
I and my teen son became a great fan of Coriander Jalapeno Hummus when we tasted this homemade recipe. Being a teen he needs lots of protein every day. But I really had a tough time in including it in his junky world. Other than Chenna masala, no recipes could really 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 while making, as I make 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 fine texture. I want to include some fiber and also I'm very satisfied with the results.
