An easy to make dill hummus recipe using sesame seeds instead of tahini paste. Simple, quick and tasty as ever!
I’ve said this before and you know it. We’ve always loved hummus; ever since we visited Israel in 1997. It tastes so different, and natural. You can use it as a dip or spread it on hot pooris or flatbreads, or enjoy it with just about everything. You could eat a lot of hummus without piling on the pounds, although it does cause you expelling air from the other end if you eat too much. You might say it’s worth it!
The only difference between this hummus and the store-bought hummus is that you’re literally making the tahini from scratch here! And after you try this one, don’t forget to try my beetroot hummus recipe.

Ingredients
- 10 flakes Garlic
- 100 grams Dill
- 250 grams Chickpeas Boiled
- 100 grams White Sesame Seeds (Til) (Til)
- 1 teaspoon Sugar Skip on the Daniel Fast!
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 4 Tablespoon Olive Oil For blending
- 2 Tablespoon Olive Oil For drizzling
- 2 Tablespoon Lime Juice
Optional
- 0.10 teaspoons Red Chilli Powder or Paprika
Instructions
- Boil the chickpeas in a pressure cooker with salt till they're soft. My mom soaks the chickpeas overnight before boiling so that it reduces the bloatedness you feel afterwards and also cooks faster. You could do that too! (If you’re using a regular pot, cook the chickpeas with salt for 45 minutes.)
- Grind the sesame seeds till it forms a thick but runny paste. (If you're using tahini instead of sesame paste from scratch, skip this step.)
- Add the boiled chickpeas, sugar and salt, and grind again.
- Once it's nearly soft, add in the dill, lime juice, garlic, and olive oil and blend well.
- Drizzle with chilli powder and olive oil before serving. You can also decorate with a few chickpeas.

Notes
- If you’re eating dill hummus on the Daniel fast, skip the sugar. It still tastes great!
- Add more or less salt if needed!
- We add way more garlic than is normally required. But we love the different taste it creates.
