Chick peas have a very low glycemic index, which means they create steady blood sugar and are especially healthful for diabetics. Curry powder contains curcumin, an antioxidant believed to be anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 19

For the Curried Cauliflower
1/2 cauliflower, washed, dried and broken into very small florets
2 tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp cumin
1 pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
1 pinch of cinnamon
1 sprig of thyme, leaves only
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
sea salt
For the Hummus
1 2/3 cups (13oz/400g) canned chickpeas, drained (reserve the liquid)
2 tbsp tahini
juice of 1/4 lemon
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 pinch of sea salt
To serve
4 slices of sourdough bread
1 scallion (spring onion), chopped
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Start by making the curried cauliflower. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C/gas mark 7). In a bowl, toss the cauliflower with the spices, thyme leaves and olive oil, mixing well. Transfer to an ovenproof dish and roast in the oven for 10-15 minutes, until lightly brown on top. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
  • Place all the hummus ingredients into a food processor or use a handheld blender to process until smooth. If necessary, use a little of the reserved chickpea liquid to thin the mixture to a smooth purée. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • To serve, spread the hummus on the bread and top with the curried cauliflower. Sprinkle the scallion (spring onion) on top and drizzle with the olive oil.

Tips:

  • To make the most flavorful hummus, use dried chickpeas that have been soaked overnight. This will help them cook more evenly and develop a deeper flavor.
  • If you don't have time to soak the chickpeas overnight, you can use canned chickpeas. Just be sure to rinse them well before using.
  • For a creamier hummus, use a food processor or high-powered blender. This will help break down the chickpeas and create a smooth, velvety texture.
  • If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can mash the chickpeas by hand. Just be sure to mash them until they are very smooth.
  • To make the curry paste, use a mortar and pestle or a food processor. This will help grind the spices into a fine powder. If you don't have either, you can use a pre-made curry paste.
  • If you don't have curry powder, you can use a combination of ground cumin, coriander, and turmeric.
  • Taste the hummus as you go and adjust the seasonings to your liking.
  • Serve the hummus with pita bread, crackers, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Curried hummus is a delicious and versatile appetizer or snack. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With its unique blend of spices, this hummus is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
