Ww - Chickpea and Masala Dip
Ready In: 4 hrs 20 mins
Serves: 15
Yields: 1 1/2 cups
Ingredients
- 1 (400 g) can of cooked chickpeas, rinsed
- 3 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted
- 1⁄2 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1⁄2 cup natural low-fat unsweetened yogurt
- 1⁄4 cup chopped mint
- 1 lemon, juice and zest of
- 1 teaspoon cumin seed, toasted
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1⁄2 teaspoon sugar
- salt and pepper
Directions
- Put all the ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth. Refrigerate for several hours before using, for the best flavour.
- Note: I used the half cup of yoghurt and it made the mixture very wet and I ended up putting another can of chickpeas in to get a nice spreadable consistency. Can I suggest you add the yoghurt slowly until it is the consistency you like.
- I also found the cumin quite strong, so you might like to use 1/2 tsp of ground cumin instead. In fact I think if I hadn't added the extra chickpeas, the spices would have probably been a bit overpowering. Having said all that I think it would be lovely with fresh bread, crackers and vege sticks.
