One of the day’s recently, when I was almost set to whip some sun dried tomato Hummus, I realised there wasn’t enough of sun dried tomatoes left. SO whats next? I had a quick look around in my kitchen and immediately decided to jazz up my Hummus with the golden hues of Turmeric.
It was totally worth it!! Now we make this yellow hummus every once in a while!
HAVE I TOLD YOU BEFORE – Turmeric is one such ingredient in an Indian Kitchen that is used in almost most recipes like curries, stews and flatbreads. My mum had taught me to throw in turmeric in literally everything she cooks. I even remember asking her –
Why use turmeric in cooking / recipes?
My mum explained me patiently how good is turmeric for heath. Turmeric has healthy antibodies and this in turn is important for our immune system. Turmeric is also known as Haldi in Hindi & Manjal in Tamil.
Apart from all the goodness, turmeric adds a deep golden hue to the food. It brings our warm flavors in curries or stew.
To make Yellow rice, simply stir in 1/2 tsp of turmeric to water while cooking the rice.
For your curries, add a 1 tsp of turmeric along with the vegetables.
For Aloo Paratha or Potato flatbread – I like to add at least 1/2 tsp of turmeric to the mashed potatoes along with other spices.

TIPS TO MAKE CREAMY HUMMUS WITH TURMERIC
Should I peel the chickpeas for creaminess? – Peeling the cooked chickpeas is slightly laborious. But yes, peeling the chickpeas will give you extra creamy texture. PS: I have not peeled the chickpeas for this recipe, still its light and creamy.
Food Processor makes the difference too! A good food processor saves save hours of mundane work like chopping, slicing, grating and mixing.
