PITA CHIPS AND HUMMUS DIPS(3 FLAVOURS)

Hope you all enjoyed my Virtual Mediterranean Feast. And many of them have asked this question whether I did everything in same day. Yeah but not in one stretch did some in between other works and had for the Dinner. Today I am posting the pita chips which I made from the leftover Pita and Hummus. So simple and you can play variety of flavors in it. But what I am posting is which I do regularly at home. Sure you all like this flavored Hummus. Give it a try if you have not tried it. You can use this flavored Hummus for bread spread also. It really tastes great with wonderful flavor and also so healthy. So here is the variation of chips and Dips with some Tips.



Hummus (Click here to see the Basic Hummus recipe) - 2 cup (Divide to 3 portions)



Coriander Hummus - Just add 1/4 cup chopped coriander to the one portion of Hummus and grind it to fine paste or coarsely according to your wish.



Roasted Red Pepper Hummus- Broil one red pepper remove the outer skin and chop and add to Hummus grind to fine paste or coarsely.



Olive Hummus - You can use both black or green as per your wish just add 4 to Hummus and give it a blend.



Note :

1. If you are planning to do any one particular flavour Hummus before making basic hummus recipe just add those flavouring accordingly when you grind the boiled chick peas and other ingredients as mentioned in the basic method. Since I did with Leftover Hummus I am adding later to the basic recipe.
2. Other flavours which taste great for Hummus are roasted garlic, Mint.
