2. Add chickpeas, garlic, tahini paste, lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, cumin seeds, coriander powder, red chili powder, and salt in a food processor. Add 2 tablespoons of water and process for a few seconds.?

3. Scrape down the sides, and add more water as necessary until the hummus is smooth and creamy. Add water a tablespoon at a time till the desired consistency is reached. Taste, and adjust seasonings if required.

4. Pour in a dish, and drizzle over the remaining olive oil along with dukkah. Serve with carrots or toasted pita bread.

PITA BREAD

Ingredients

2?cups?all-purpose flour plus 1/2 cup for dusting
1/2?cup?whole wheat flour
1?tbsp?sugar
1?tsp?salt
1?tbsp?olive oil
2?tsp?yeast?
1?cup?warm water

Instructions
1. Combine all-purpose flour, wheat flour, salt and sugar in a mixing bowl. Stir to mix.

2. Add the yeast to warm water and stir to dissolve completely. Pour this in the mixing bowl along with olive oil and then combine everything into a sticky mass.

3. Transfer to your worktop dust with additional flour and knead for 8-10 mins until you get a soft and tacky dough. (Refer the detailed instructions from the above paragraphs).

4. Lightly oil the same mixing bowl. Transfer the dough into it, coat it with olive oil from all sides to refrain it from drying and then allow it for first proofing -2 hours.

5. After 2 hours lightly deflate the gas and divide the dough into 10 equal parts. Tuck the sides in of it and give it a round shape. Press in the center and cover with a tea towel. Repeat the process until you shape all of them into roundels.

6. Take the first dough that you shaped and roll it thinly and evenly to 6 inches in diameter. Place it on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and cover with a tea towel.

7. Once you have rolled out all the roundels allow it for second proofing - 30 mins.

8. Preheat the oven to 230 degree Celsius with the baking stone inside. Right before baking flip the rolled out dough on to the stone and bake for 4-5 mins until it is nicely puffed up.

9. To make it on a stovetop make sure that the skillet is hot. Flip the rolled out dough and place it on the hot skillet. After about 20 sec flip the dough and you will observe that the dough puffs up like a balloon in minute's time. Flip it over again and cook on both sides.

10. Wrap it in a tea towel as soon as it comes out of the oven or skillet to keep it soft.

11. Pita bread tastes best when still warm.
