  • 1 tablespoon tahini

Instructions

To make the hummus:

  • Place them in a large pot, and cover with double their size of cold water.
  • Bring to boil then lower the heat to medium and simmer until tender. Add cumin.
  • To make the hummus, blitz all of the hummus ingredients together until you get a smooth dip. Have a taste and decide if it needs more salt, lemon or garlic. If the consistency is too thick, add a dash of chickpea water and mix.

  • Mix the yogurt with tahini, crushed garlic, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. If it gets thick, add some chickpea water/broth.

To assemble the fatteh:
