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 .

What to serve with Roasted Carrot 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.

    When it is just the two of us as the other two travel, it feels like making classic food is a chore. I am glad I still can get the carrot and bean content in with this carrot hummus. the added touch of indian spices will make it click for sure.

  9. 5 stars
    Roasted carrots with Indian spices in Hummus!!! I am lovin’ it! With just the 3 of us at home cooking elaborate meals feels like a chore. Of course, I am making this yummy hummus it will pass off as sandwich filling too.
