As I was done with most varieties of carrot soup (I simply loved the oven roasted veggie version ), I wanted to make something savoury and I have had my eye on Carrot hummus for a long time 🙂 

Not any ordinary hummus, but Indian-spices roasted carrot hummus . 

Adapted from here (and with own little twists), this was a cracker of a recipe and we all loved it a lot. After the beetroot hummus, this comes out as my personal top favourite. But our new personal favourite is the Mung Bean Hummus with garlic and lemon, oh so yum!! . My munchkin’s favourite though remains the Classic Chickpeas Hummus

Let’s see how to make it. As mentioned in my earlier posts, I always have a bag of cooked chickpeas in my freezer. I had to bring it to room temperature and then make this quick hummus in less than 30 mins. This is so delicious on its own that I have been indulging it just like that. You can use it as a base for a filling sandwich , with your parathas, crudités or even some Lavash sticks

However, if u have raw chickpeas, the Prep time would vary. Soak the raw chickpeas overnight, pressure cook, drain all the water (and make your own DIY egg replacer with that aquafaba), and proceed as usual.

    So innovative and healthy way to make hummus. Loved the use of marinated and roasted carrot in the hummus. It should be delicious and flavourful.

    I've yet to try making hummus other than the classic one. Adding carrots to it is a great idea and so flavorful. Wouldn't mind enjoying this dip with some pita bread.

    Love your innovative recipe Kalyani. Adding Sumec sounds interesting. Fantastic share.

  9. So many variations of the basic hummus and each one looks super inviting. This roasted carrot hummus with those flavours must be very addictive
