Instructions
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. 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. Mix until you get a smooth 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. So please give it a thin + shape over the hummus with spices.
Chop the cherry tomatoes and pickles, and arrange them on the sides of the hummus plate. Thoroughly wash and chop the parsley, then stack it in the middle of the hummus plate.
Non-Vegan Topping
Put the hummus on a serving plate, press it in the center with a tablespoon, and make a circle. Chop the cherry tomatoes and pickles and arrange them on the sides of the hummus plate. Wash and chop the parsley well, then stack it in the middle of the hummus plate. Heat a small pan, and add 1 1/2 tbsp butter. When the butter melts, add cumin and paprika, mix a little and turn off the stove. Drizzle the spicy butter over the hummus plate and serve hot.
Non-Vegan Topping to Make It Main Meal
Press the hummus on a serving plate in the middle with a tablespoon and form a round. Chop the cherry tomatoes and pickles and arrange them on the sides of the hummus plate. Heat a small pan and add 1 ½ tablespoons of butter. Then beat 1 egg and fry it in this butter. Sprinkle cumin and paprika on top.
Put the fried egg on the hummus. Wash and chop the parsley well, then stack it right in the middle of the egg hummus plate.
Notes
If you do not 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 before consumption and serve it after mixing.
You can easily peel chickpeas off by rubbing them lightly in the palm of your hand.
If the food processor is struggling, gradually add olive oil or water to reach the desired consistency.

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.
