Tri-Colour Hummus - freedom to choose health and taste!

Hummus is a common Middle Eastern dip made of chickpeas and served with pita bread and Falafel.
On the occasion of the Indian Independence Day, we at Wellcure decided to give it a patriotic twist to suit the mood of the day and the Indian palette.
It's dairy-free, oil-free and gluten-free.
Ingredients
- Chickpeas: ¾ cup ( soaked)
For Saffron hummus
- Sesame seeds: 2 tbsp (roasted)
- Kashmiri chilli: 1-2
- Lime juice: 2 tbsp
- Red Bell Pepper: 1 no
- Rock salt to taste
- Cumin seeds: 1 tbsp.
- Chilli powder: as required
- Jaggery powder: ¼ tsp
For White hummus
- Potatoes (boiled & mashed): 3 tbsp
- Cashew nuts: 15 (soaked)
- Coconut milk: as required for grinding
- Garlic: 3 cloves
- Lime juice: 2 tbsp
- Rock salt: to taste
For Green hummus
- Mint leaves: 3 tbsp (chopped)
- Coriander leaves: 3 tbsp (chopped)
- Capsicum: 3 tbsp (chopped)
- Green chilli: 1-2 (chopped)
- Garlic: 3 cloves
- Lime juice: 2 tbsp
- Rock salt: to taste
Method
- Boil the soaked chickpeas and drain excess water.
- Chop the Kashmiri chilli and soak it in lime juice for 2-3 hours.
- Roast the red bell pepper on an open flame until the skin gets blackened.
- Wash it under the tap to remove the skin. And chop it to get 3 tablespoons of chopped roasted red bell pepper.
- Divide the chickpeas into three parts.
- First, make the white hummus by making a smooth paste of soaked cashews.
- Add to it all the other ingredients listed under white hummus and one part of the chickpeas.
- Blend it by adding just enough coconut milk to get a smooth paste.
- Remove and keep aside.
- Now add all the ingredients for the green hummus and the second part of chickpeas and blend with water to get a spicy tangy green coloured hummus.
- Wash the blender and wipe dry.
- To prepare saffron hummus, make a paste of sesame seeds.
- Add to it the rest of the ingredients and the third part of chickpeas and blend with water to get a creamy smooth paste.
- Now that you have hummus in three colours, serve them with vegetable sticks or cutlets. They also taste great with Indian flatbreads.
Wellcure Tip: The hummus can be used as a spread on any flatbread. Make a roll with shredded salad vegetables to make it a wholesome meal.
Eating Guide:
- Food group: Legumes and seeds
- Chickpeas are your legume category. This is whole foods and a great addition for much-needed protein and fiber.
- Seeds are a plant-based source of fats and consuming naturally available fats is the best way to consume them.
