A few tricks mentioned below will help you elevate the taste.<\/li><li>Tahini<br \/>A paste made from ground sesame seeds is what makes the hummus taste incredible.<\/li><li>Lemon Juice<br \/>Freshly squeezed and not the bottled one!<\/li><li>Olive oil<br \/>A good quality extra-virgin olive oil is important for the rich, creamy, luxurious texture.

Drain the chickpeas from the can and hold a bean between your thumb and first finger. A little pressure will help the skin come off easily. Discard the peel and cook the beans in warm water.<\/li><li>Toasting the cumin seeds and then grinding them to make toasted cumin powder is another trick that will bring a special kick to the hummus. Avoid using store bought powder!<\/li><li>Look for a dark colored tahini paste, the one made from toasted sesame seeds!

Then tap in the centre with the back side of the spoon, flattening the mixture. This will help you get a smooth and even surface.\u00a0<\/li><li>Dip the spoon in some water and use it to make a well in the centre of your hummus.<\/li><li>Fill the well with olive oil.<\/li><li>Now take a fork. Dip it in oil\/water and then in paprika powder. Press gently on the sides of hummus making a nice pattern.<\/li><\/ul><p>Sprinkle sesame seeds or zaatar and place fresh mint leaves, boiled chickpeas, grilled vegetables, pine nuts or my favourite pomegranate arils.<\/p><p>There are countless ways of serving hummus.
