Definitely an interesting change to everyday hummus. Dh wasn't as sure about it as myself but I think that was partially my fault as I used a cheap food processor so the texture was rather grainy. I really enjoyed the combination of spices though I may try with raw onion and no yoghurt next time to give it a bit more zing. Thanks for posting another great recipe, Nif! <br/>Made for Team Tasty Tester's during ZWT #9 :)

I love great food and I particularly like trying cuisines new to me! Although I don't prepare as much food as I used to, creating in my kitchen is still one of my favourite things to do. Enjoy!
