This is one of my favourite dip, it has a beautiful sesame flavour from the tahini. It is creamy, garlicky, tangy all in one. Perfect to dip crisp cut veggies as well, it makes a great spread for any sandwiches or shawarma as well..Can be had as a dipping sauce for grilled chicken as well..

Dear Arthi.. I am a keen follower of ur recipies..love the way u make it so simple and easy for us to try it.. My daughter lives hummus..so i have been making it for quite some tym now..always bought store made Tahina.. So happy to see that i can make it at home.. Just wanted to tell u i use curd and green chilles instead of lemon jiuce and chilli powder..and it tastes amazing.. Mayb u coukd giv that as an option too.. Keep up the good work dear.. God Bless..
So creamy and delicious!
how long it can be stored?
@Fathimayou can keep this in fridge for a week
@Ajithathank you..will try that next time.
Do we need to soak the channa overnight? Or can we boil it without soaking?
@Anonymoussoaking helps in boiling faster..So soaking is best
Hi Aarthi! Can we freeze this in small portions and use?
