Recipe – 30min prep / 40min cooking time
Pre-soak the chickpeas for a night before or at least 4-5 hours.
Add 1 teaspoon of baking powder to the water you have soaked.
Drain and wash.
Transfer the chickpeas to a large saucepan.
Add water and cook for 45 minutes.
Meanwhile, put the tahini, olive oil, cumin, juice of two lemons, and salt in a bowl.
Finely chop the garlic, add them and mix well.
Tip: If you are not going to consume all the hummus on the same day, you can store it in the freezer. But in this case, do not add the garlic. You can add the grated garlic just before consumption and serve it after mixing.
After cooking well and becoming soft, drain the chickpeas, remove the shells of the boiled chickpeas one by one, and put them in a food processor with the tahini mixture you prepared.
Tip: You can easily peel chickpeas off by rubbing them lightly in the palm of your hand.
Mix until you get a smooth consistency.
Recommendation: If the food processor is struggling, add olive oil or water little by little to reach the desired consistency.
Then take it on a serving plate and press it in the middle with a tablespoon and draw a circle.
Drizzle 1 tbsp olive oil on it.
Draw a longitudinal line with some paprika.
Draw a horizontal line with cumin.

Why is Baking Powder Used in Hummus?
Baking powder is not a vital ingredient in the water you soak chickpeas in, but if you already have it in your home, use it. Because it makes hummus easier to digest and makes it easier to cook.
How to Store Hummus?
Did you know you can keep it in the freezer for months? But there is one important step for it. If you’re going to freeze it, don’t use any garlic when making hummus. After removing the frozen hummus and thawing, add garlic, mix, and serve.
Best Tip for Making Hummus Super Smooth
Yes, it’s a bit boring but it works! After boiling, peel off all the skins of the chickpeas one by one. This process gives maximum smoothness to hummus.
