I loved this recipie and of course, tweaked it to my own particular taste the second time around as a good 'zaar-ist' should. I used 3 tablespoons of plain yoghurt and subbed tablespoon of garlic/ginger paste for clove of garlic; subbed cayenne for red pepper; added one more tablespoon of cumin and omitted the parsley. Just my own take on a certified 5 star recipe! THANK YOU for the inspiration!

This is delicious! If you like hummus, you've got to try this recipe!! The only thing I do differently is use yogurt instead of tahini. I prefer the consistency I get with the yogurt instead. Oh, also I used two cloves of garlic...I can never get enough of garlic :-) Make sure to add the parsley; it makes a huge difference in the flavor! Yum! 5 stars! ~Di
