Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup tender green peas or frozen baby peas
  • 1/2 cup chopped coriander
  • 2 heaped tablespoons sesame seeds
  • 2-3 small cloves of garlic
  • 1 green chilli
  • 1 -2 tablespoon olive oil some more for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon yogurt optional
  • a few drops of lemon juice
  • salt to taste

Method
 

  1. If using fresh peas blanch and drain well.
  2. If using frozen peas thaw and drain properly.
  3. In a chutney jar/mixer jar grind the sesame seeds, add the garlic and chilli. Grind well.
  4. To the mix add the peas, coriander and salt. Grind to a smooth paste. You may add a tablespoon of yogurt/oil to ease the grinding.
  5. Add oil and lemon juice and grind it for the final time.
  6. Transfer the Green Peas Hummus to a serving bowl, pour some olive oil and sprinkle some sesame seeds on the top.

Notes

  • I have used olive oil to ease the grinding and hence the colour has remained refreshingly green. If you choose to use yogurt the colour will pale down a bit.
  • You may vary the quantity of olive oil used but spreading  oil on the top helps in retaining the colour of this Hummus.
