    Yum! This is great tasting hummus. The spice, lemon juice and garlic proportions are just right. Mine still turned out slightly grainy, but I think that's my fault, not the recipe's. Who cares, anyway? It's still delicious. I will make this often--thanks, Chandra.

    Fluffy Hummus, There are quite a few recipes already on zaar for hummus, but not quite the same recipe I adapted the technique from Cooks Illustrated, and find it gives a very fluffy, not grainy texture The cooking time includes 1 hour chill time, which can be cut short if necessary, but the flavors won’t develop as nicely , Yum!
