I’ve literally made your hummus recipe for the first time about 3 months ago and haven’t stopped making a fresh batch about every 10 days or so. I’ve also done the same recipe substituting black beans for the chickpeas along with roasted garlic and it’s amazing as well! My hubby and I LOVE this stuff! And also great as a spread on sandwiches instead of the same old boring condiments!
"It's fine as a snack if you don't have anything else" LMAO, then I smiled when she made her mom so happy. That's what taking the time to cook and prepare food really well is all about, bringing your family and friends together to share and enjoy the goodness, it's one of the great enjoyments of life and you don't have to be rich or exceptionally talented to do it, just some practice and love. Thank you for sharing your recipe and family. Now I'm going to prepare it and see if I can get a big smile from my mom too.
YES! finally seeing the best recipe for hummus. after living in the middle east (and asking every falafel shop how they make it) this is definitely done well, but I have one recommendation: start with the lemon, garlic, salt and cumin in the food processor first. once this is very well blended you can put in some ice water (it becomes the texture of an amazing mayo dressing, then lastly, add the chickpeas. something special happens when you do it like this. you can even use a little of the aquafava (at the beginning). makes it even creamier. try it.
There's family affection there for sure! Also Rainbow Plant Life's folks seemed a little skeptical as to how good the humus would be - and were open about that. I loved their response, discovering that it was actually pretty good!
My 2 biggest tips for hummus, which I've been making for decades: 1) It's usually good to serve as-is, but a night in the fridge REALLY helps the flavor blend. You can always warm it up. 2) Try dipping white onion petals into it, using them as scoops. It really brings the tahini out.
Love that you said, “alternating recipes for your taste.” That’s what makes cooking fun. And it encourages healthy eating. Thank you for stating that! 🥰
Yes. Very respectful and absolutely the inclusive thing to say. Houmous is to die for. I also add a little ground coriander to taste as well as the cumin.

I loved this whole video. the part when your mum came up behind you and whispered about taking a photo, she reminded me of my mum who I lost during the lockdowns and it made me shed a tear. It was so lovely of you to test this out with your lovely family, cherish them as be with them as much as you can! Thank you for this wonderful recipe will deffo be trying this!
I agree! I realized I was smiling the whole time she were going from person to person. This is remarkable because I had just watched the news; things are so bad around the world for so many people. It breaks my heart. Her video brought relief and I thank her for sharing her family with us. I have outlived my loved ones; I watch RUclips videos of other people to help me remember.
I lost my beloved Dad during the lockdowns in Australia, too. He was in another state, so they wouldn't let me visit him even though he was nearing death. Then he died.
@@merk9569 I am so sorry that you have outlived your loved ones, the memories are real and when you think of them they will know it and feel it I promise you! Love is the strongest energy in the world it transcends time, space and dimensions, so they are connected with you all the time. Blessings of love and peace to you.
Amazing hummus. I can't stop making it. Tip! Save those chickpea skins, toss them in some olive oil and spices, and bake in the oven. It makes an awesome crispy snack and cuts down on food waste.
@@OrnateOwl a shop? No I mean at home. I make dinners and breakfast (bread) in the oven so I think it will cost more energy to keep switching on / off. Thats why its always on at 100 *C at minimum
If you use a counter convection toaster oven it uses over 20% less electricity plus it cooks faster so with the bean skins it would be quite fast and energy efficient. If you don’t want to use any energy you could dehydrate them fairly quickly on a tray inside your unheated oven
Hummus isn’t my favorite food either. I rarely consider eating it. I just made your recipe. I used ½ the cumin as I don’t like it. I used 1 clove of garlic. I bought some nan . Oh my goodness. This was sooo delicious. It will be a staple at my parties and for my own lunches from now on. And it was so economical to boot
🇲🇽 here, - I love anything flavorful, I like hummus American version, but this is just amazing, thank you for the recipe. 🎉. Plus the interaction with your parents is very organic and very nice to watch , your mom sounds so sweet and loving 🥰
Dump them in a bowl of cold tap water to cover 2” above chick peas. Stir with your hand, The skins will float to the top and you can skim them off or pour them off.
See above yes your system is brilliant but with 2 tbs of liquid from canned any kind of legume in a blender you can keep the skins and it is seriously like a cloud ....
Fresh Cooked, then cold water bursts skin free. Similar to freezing tomatoes, then running them (frozen) under warm water, when you take them out of the freezer. The skin comes off easy. Same goes for garlic freeze it, peal by rubbing gentle between fingers & thumb, skins fall off ( slicing them thin easier or make them into a paste after they thaw). The one time I used canned, the skins pulled off easily when I squished them, between thumb & fingers.
i loveeeeed seeing you take your food to your family to eat, i haven't seen that in youtube and it reminded me of food network in the best way possible
I just made this today and I was totally skeptical about the lemon pieces at the end because I assumed they would taste bitter but it totally turned the hummus so much better. I’m obsessed thank you so much!
The look on my mom´s face was priceless, when I made this hummus & she tasted it straight from the blender - I prefere it made with dried chickpeas, instead of canned. It´s addictive & the best recipe I´ve ever tried, for sure... I use 1 heaping teaspoon ground cumin & it turns out perfect every time... Thank you...
So I did the laziest thing ever. I hooked up my store bought hummus with all your flavors. Use dried parsley flakes and Added a splash of sesame oil for good measure. I didn't use the cutting board or the food processor but I did do your lemon zest garlic oil at the end. And it was amazing!!!!! So I can't wait to try this when I'm not so lazy and do it from scratch
Hi, I am lazy too. I find Biona jarred chickpeas make brilliant hummus without having to process them first. Though next time I might boil them in baking soda first.
I make mine with canned chickpeas too, then blend with half a cup of water and half a cup of lemon juice (and bit of olive oil instead of sesame oil). From there, experiment with flavors
Your parents don't realize what an awesome cook you've become. It's funny how people who love to cook delicious food are so enthusiastic about describing each ingredient. My daughter shares each ingredient and how much. It's cute to see how excited she gets about the process! I'll definitely be making your recipe! Thank you! A vegan mom of 4
Definitely one of THE best hummus recipes, and we LOVED that you included your family in the video! The olive oil "dressing" at the end was spectacular!
I made this today finally after watching the video at least 10 times over the past year for its sheer entertainment value and it did not disappoint. Really lovely hummus. Thank you Nisha!
Just made this today and it’s the first time I have been successful at making hummus at home. This is just as good or better than what we get at a local place we love. Thank you for this! Never buying store bought again!
Your hummus has AMAZING flavors. I can not eat tahini so I substituted sunflower butter. As I LOVE lemon, I used extra and the finished product was wonderful. Thank you for sharing a glimpse of your precious family. I dearly enjoyed seeing the interaction. You are truly blessed to have such a lovely relationship with them.
Yes, Nisha, this is the best hummus that we have ever had, let alone, made! Our chick peas were still warm from cooking in the insta pot, so I added ice to the blender instead of cold water and fluffed up perfectly. The garlicky, lemony olive oil at the end protected the hummus from drying out, brilliant again!
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! Made this yesterday. First time making hummus ever. Was lazy and soaked my dried chickpeas for two days and added a full lemon. It was fluffy and delicious. Nothing but compliments.
This is my first video I’ve ever seen of yours, so maybe I won’t love the rest, who knows, BUT you gave cooking tips, you have the sweetest parents, you said “no” to celery and “yes” to carbs, and you pointed out what’s “American” (which I’m counting as educational.) So far I’m 💯% hooked!
Hey Nisha, Friend of mine recommended me the instant pot when I was searching for an rice cooker. I knew your channel from before but not the instant pot videos. Then I was searching for vegan instant pot recipes on RUclips to convince myself to get an instant pot over a rice cooker and was positively surprised to see your channel pop up! Binged all the videos regarding that content. Then discovered you had an vegan instant pot cookbook which I instantly bought! Exactly what I was looking for! Oh you also kinda convinced me to see the utility and versatility and I finally add a food processor to my kitchen collection, admittedly a different model but I am very happy with it! Helps allot with vegan cooking total game changer IMO So I made the hummus recipe for the second time, first time I did it without lemon juice becouse I had none and thought “mhe won’t make to much of a difference” , I was wrong VERY wrong! Just made it again with the juice of 1 whole lemon HOLY such a positive difference! Now I wonder what I missed all these years by not adding lemon juice to my other dishes! Keep it coming, super good content! Best wishes
This is the BEST hummus I have ever tasted! I already knew it would be good because I’m ALWAYS On your channel and your recipes do not disappoint. But I didn’t think I wouldn’t be able to control myself and eat the whole thing in one sitting!! Thank you!
You can buy split chickpeas, these are small no shell and they cook in half the time. I add carrot and onion to the cooking process, then I remove the onion and carrot before blending, that will add some sweetness to your hummus. try it, worst case you won't like it, but it could also be the best one you had... great video!
Perhaps You can; the only place I can buy dried chickpeas is Costco. Full size and I had to buy 10 pounds. (Purchased for a special vegetarian dinner last year. )
I just made this and it’s fantastic! I’ve only eaten store bought hummus and this is way better! One trick I did, was I took canned chickpeas and boiled them with baking soda for ten minutes. This softened them up even more and made a very fluffy soft texture in the end.
I hope your sweet kind mama got her picture. Oh my goodness she looks like she absolutely adores you and is so proud.🥺🤗 Thank you for the video. Blessings 💐🙏🏾
And any normal white boy would not be offended, It is just an invite to eat. With all the racial stuff at the moment, this is just honest verbalisation of "come eat with us and share."
I thought that was what she said. My mum's family are Asians (my father is British) so I am Eurasian and I can tell you Asian's are a race so very underrated and misunderstood. Asians do it best when it comes to a lot of things. I am proud of my Asian bloodline.
@@CaptainValian You're right. No one should be offended. However it did sound like a passive-aggressive poke at the daughter. I've heard similar comments from my own mother that(if you read between the lines) means "why didn't you marry a nice Jewish girl", and in this case the comment was likely a similar passive aggressive statement "why didn't you marry a nice Indian boy".
Thank you Nisha for your style of cooking and presenting it to us! I greatly appreciate all your words of wisdom, humour and delicious confidence. Your ease and pleasure of cooking inspires me to start trying new things for me and my son ☺️… thank you 😘
It’s true. She hits this one out of the park. This was a huge correction of my hummus making. The ice cold water is a great trick. Creamy and delicious. Merci
I made this yesterday. Even though I made hummus a lot of times previously this time I followed your instructions. And the result is incredible! A friend of mine who ate it kept thanking me :)))
I'd just made a tub of hummus using your recipe, and what best to enjoy that with, than this video! First off, the hummus was GREAT. Seeing the consistency we're aiming for hugely helps. And secondly, this video was just hilarious! Everything from guitar music as you chop the parsley and your parents' reactions. Keep these fun, technique-focused videos coming!
OMGoodness, I have been making Hummus for years and yours is hands-down, the BEST EVER! Thank you for making my day, my week and providing me with a recipe I am so happy to share with my family and my bigger family, as I live in a cohousing community with 24 other households where we share a meal 3 nights a week - YUM! I have been following you for a few years now and delight in your natural, wholeheartedness.
This is so natural...Talking to your parents, getting them taste the store bought and homemade version and their honest opinions ...it’s all so chilled out
I've been wanting to make this hummus since the recipe dropped, and I finally made it! It's so good! My food processor is small, so I definitely had to split the recipe then combine it in a bowl! It's still so worth it. Nisha's recipes never disappoint!
@@FactsFirst do u recognise how one set of ppl are like yeh! My ppl want everyone to sit eat together and have a laugh. And another person is like I can spread negativity, even on a vid about hummus...
Really is the best hummus recipe ever! I saw you comment on pick up limes aushak dumplings and we actually made this with her dumplings and my grandma's creamed cucumbers. Wonderful meal.
You are so charismatic, made for telly as you come across so natural. Also I am completely in love with your family, especially your mum. Right, off to make hummus.
This is true! She’s the opposite of me when it comes to cooking. But she doesn’t need to cook because between me, my mom and dad, she’s got more than enough food lol
Garlic doesn't go well with hummus actually, Americans often use too much garlic and lemon and it tastes very weird, I'm speaking as a Lebanese that loves garlic and lemon. Hummus shouldn't taste like garlic and lemon, just a hint. Hummus needs more of a creamy tahini taste rather than lemon and garlic, if it tastes like garlic or lemon its usually tastes off its more to give it a flavor rather than to "taste like garlic/lemon). Of course to each their own. Hummus is also not hummus without some good olive oil on top of it and some sumac or paprika on it, tastes so much better.
Just made this recipe ...and it is definitely the MOST DELICIOUS hummus I tasted in my life...That should be illegal ...used dry chickpeas though. Thank you so so much Nisha. Much love from UK
I made this today and it was sooo good! For the love of god do not skip the last step. The oil and the crunchy lemon and garlic make all the difference!!
Your family is hilarious (your mom is especially adorable)! And thanks for the lovely recipe! I love hommous and confess to buying the Sabra brand in the store, or sometimes another brand, but I prefer to let it come to room temperature. Never had much success making it from scratch, but that’s probably because I used canned chickpeas. One of these days, I’ll try it really from scratch, the way you did, Nisha! Thank you! 🙏🏼
Love your family! 🌿 Your sister is gorgeous, your mother is sensational, and your father and brother in-law make me laugh. 😅 And you, our lawyer who was drawn to the culinary arts, is simply beautiful!
Here in Toronto Canada tomorrow is mother's day. My mum died a long time ago, too soon age 66. So glad to watch a happy family and best wishes to all. Sent flowers to my best friend, best mum I know.
Don't fuss with the peeling, use chana dal (split chickpeas!) from any local indian food store! Cooks faster, softer, doesn't need soaking, and no peels!
Your mom is a riot, Nisha! 🤣 I like your family as taste testers-very entertaining 😆 I’ll try it this way-the baking soda and ice water AND the toppings! Yum 😋 Thank you! ♥️🌱♥️
I’ve tried making hummus at home before in the past and always hated it but we LOVE hummus. I just tried this recipe and my kids and I are loving it!! It’s so good. I put a little less tahini because it’s my preference but otherwise followed it to a T and it’s great
It could be that she eventually asked her parents where the cutting boards are and they told her where, and they were in the STRANGEST of all places. Like in my parents' house.
@@biancanapoles1725, you can see the garlic and lemon zest on the big cutting board as she is saying that there is no other cutting board. So, she had already used it and knew it was there, idk.
@@mariam-mx3ys 1. "Palestine" doesn't exist. 2. Hummus is not an Arab dish. It belongs to all Middle Eastern peoples and cultures. It's a regional food, not an ethnic food.
This recipe with the sautéed garlic and lemon zest is cleverly creative. Shabash Nisha JI! Yashir Koach is Hebrew for approximately "More power to you!" Your family is terrific!
Can't wait to try this. Just to let you know (referencing 5:12), you parents' cutting board is behind you next to the stove. You just used it in the last scene. Great looking hummus!

Oh you also kinda convinced me to see the utility and versatility and I finally add a food processor to my kitchen collection, admittedly a different model but I am very happy with it! Helps allot with vegan cooking total game changer IMO
So I made the hummus recipe for the second time, first time I did it without lemon juice becouse I had none and thought “mhe won’t make to much of a difference” , I was wrong VERY wrong! Just made it again with the juice of 1 whole lemon HOLY such a positive difference! Now I wonder what I missed all these years by not adding lemon juice to my other dishes!
Keep it coming, super good content!
Best wishes
This is the BEST hummus I have ever tasted! I already knew it would be good because I’m ALWAYS On your channel and your recipes do not disappoint. But I didn’t think I wouldn’t be able to control myself and eat the whole thing in one sitting!! Thank you!
Haha thank you! So thrilled you loved this hummus so much and I totally get it, it's very easy to want to eat it all!
You can buy split chickpeas, these are small no shell and they cook in half the time.
I add carrot and onion to the cooking process, then I remove the onion and carrot before blending, that will add some sweetness to your hummus.
try it, worst case you won't like it, but it could also be the best one you had...
great video!
Perhaps You can; the only place I can buy dried chickpeas is Costco. Full size and I had to buy 10 pounds. (Purchased for a special vegetarian dinner last year. )
@@wordsculpt try an Indian store
@@wordsculpt go for the creators of humus , the Lebanese stores thats where you also find the best of the best tahini. al kanater.
I just made this and it’s fantastic! I’ve only eaten store bought hummus and this is way better!
One trick I did, was I took canned chickpeas and boiled them with baking soda for ten minutes. This softened them up even more and made a very fluffy soft texture in the end.
i also just use canned chickpeas and boil them, it's so much quicker!
So glad you tested this! I was wondering if boiling the canned ones would soften them more. Thanks for posting!
OMG i'm making this tomorrow and only have canned - didn't even think of boiling them! Thanks!
Your mother and the "Can we take a picture like this?" Omg so sweet. I just want to spend a Sunday with all of them jaja
I hope your sweet kind mama got her picture. Oh my goodness she looks like she absolutely adores you and is so proud.🥺🤗 Thank you for the video. Blessings 💐🙏🏾
very endearing to see your family. Family is everything. You have a beautiful family.
"How come my white boy is not eating?"
Omg this is such a desi/SE Asian mom (in law) thing to say haha
lol yes! 😂
And any normal white boy would not be offended, It is just an invite to eat. With all the racial stuff at the moment, this is just honest verbalisation of "come eat with us and share."
Im a white gal and I though it was totally cute that she said it. It clearly comes from a place of affection. What a cool mom!
I thought that was what she said. My mum's family are Asians (my father is British) so I am Eurasian and I can tell you Asian's are a race so very underrated and misunderstood.
Asians do it best when it comes to a lot of things. I am proud of my Asian bloodline.
@@CaptainValian You're right. No one should be offended. However it did sound like a passive-aggressive poke at the daughter. I've heard similar comments from my own mother that(if you read between the lines) means "why didn't you marry a nice Jewish girl", and in this case the comment was likely a similar passive aggressive statement "why didn't you marry a nice Indian boy".
Umm...I’ll take a big bowl of that hummus plz. “Wasting too much time, let’s just taste the thing lol” 🤣 😬👌🏻
lol my dad is a man who knows what he wants. thank you Wil!
LOL that part had me laughing
Two of my favorite youtube cooks!!
Dr. D Vora is hilarious 🤣 let's just eat this hummus!
Lay ho ma! So glad to see you here too Wil! I love both of you guys
Thank you Nisha for your style of cooking and presenting it to us! I greatly appreciate all your words of wisdom, humour and delicious confidence. Your ease and pleasure of cooking inspires me to start trying new things for me and my son ☺️… thank you 😘
I love that when you taste it you don't just say its amazing, you're honest, like,"hmm needs more salt, or lemon"
Who cares. The basic recipe if you add nothing is a cloud of beautiful texture that is totally bland. Seasoning defines personal taste and culture.
Love the real family feeling of your videos! The food looks great and the everyday life appeal is perfect. Thank you!
It’s true. She hits this one out of the park. This was a huge correction of my hummus making. The ice cold water is a great trick. Creamy and delicious. Merci
I made this yesterday. Even though I made hummus a lot of times previously this time I followed your instructions. And the result is incredible! A friend of mine who ate it kept thanking me :)))
pro tip: use the cooking water in the blending and start from everything else before the chickpeas to get the smoothest texture
Omg I just wanted this for the first time… your mom it a total VIBE!! I loved how she was dancing in the chair even before she ate it lol
I am not vegan, not vegetarian but some of your recipes are worth a try. This is one of my favorites :)
Don't label your food and judge it based upon the labels. The world is full of great food options, and some of it is plant based. Just enjoy it!
I'd just made a tub of hummus using your recipe, and what best to enjoy that with, than this video! First off, the hummus was GREAT. Seeing the consistency we're aiming for hugely helps. And secondly, this video was just hilarious! Everything from guitar music as you chop the parsley and your parents' reactions. Keep these fun, technique-focused videos coming!
So glad you found this video useful and enjoyable! And yay I’m glad the hummus turned out great!
OMGoodness, I have been making Hummus for years and yours is hands-down, the BEST EVER! Thank you for making my day, my week and providing me with a recipe I am so happy to share with my family and my bigger family, as I live in a cohousing community with 24 other households where we share a meal 3 nights a week - YUM!
I have been following you for a few years now and delight in your natural,
wholeheartedness.
Your family is the best! “Why is my white boy not eating?” Best line in the video!Family being real and loving!
This is so natural...Talking to your parents, getting them taste the store bought and homemade version and their honest opinions ...it’s all so chilled out
I've been wanting to make this hummus since the recipe dropped, and I finally made it! It's so good! My food processor is small, so I definitely had to split the recipe then combine it in a bowl! It's still so worth it. Nisha's recipes never disappoint!
"How come my white boy is not eating" lmao 🤣🤣🤣 I love your family
😂 indian parents always forcing everyone to eat!
@@RainbowPlantLife so do italians (i'm half italian) XD
@@RainbowPlantLife My parents too!!!!!!!!! ( I'm an African American and Caribbean combo)
@@CrystalWilliamsoncoach
so you can get along well with both jamaicans and harlem folks
@@FactsFirst do u recognise how one set of ppl are like yeh! My ppl want everyone to sit eat together and have a laugh. And another person is like I can spread negativity, even on a vid about hummus...
LOL your parents are the best 😂😂😂
Hehe thanks Rose!!
I agree! Love the videos with the family
Right!?
I couldn't agree more! Too funny! Love you, and Nisha, Rose. Both of your videos entertain & teach!
Absolutely!
This is delicious! A new favorite. I’m having back surgery in Feb. some of this is going into the freezer for those times I need a snack.
Please have your family on more often, just love them🤣
Really is the best hummus recipe ever! I saw you comment on pick up limes aushak dumplings and we actually made this with her dumplings and my grandma's creamed cucumbers. Wonderful meal.
You are so charismatic, made for telly as you come across so natural. Also I am completely in love with your family, especially your mum. Right, off to make hummus.
Aww thank you Alison. you are so sweet! Hope you enjoy the hummus!
Also your sister is underappreciated "I thought those yellow things were bell peppers" LOLLLL
This is true! She’s the opposite of me when it comes to cooking. But she doesn’t need to cook because between me, my mom and dad, she’s got more than enough food lol
@@RainbowPlantLife a video when you teach her to cook something :P
Dr. Puja is so down to earth with her yellow bell peppers lemons!
Love your mom and so all the enthusiasm you put into cooking!!!!! Definitely gonna try this recipe. Loads of love❤
You can tell her mom is totally in love with her daughters. How beautiful 🥺
I was thinking that 3 garlic cloves wasn't enough 🤣 I love garlic!
I agree, I'm half Italian and we use garlic in just about everything!
I hate garlic.....lol I love Italian food but I still hate garlic😂😭😭😅
@@ovee5281 try make tasty food and put along with garlic and salt u may like it i used hate garlic too now i like cant live without garlic lol
me too i really love garlic
Garlic doesn't go well with hummus actually, Americans often use too much garlic and lemon and it tastes very weird, I'm speaking as a Lebanese that loves garlic and lemon. Hummus shouldn't taste like garlic and lemon, just a hint. Hummus needs more of a creamy tahini taste rather than lemon and garlic, if it tastes like garlic or lemon its usually tastes off its more to give it a flavor rather than to "taste like garlic/lemon). Of course to each their own.
Hummus is also not hummus without some good olive oil on top of it and some sumac or paprika on it, tastes so much better.
Just made this recipe ...and it is definitely the MOST DELICIOUS hummus I tasted in my life...That should be illegal ...used dry chickpeas though. Thank you so so much Nisha.
Much love from UK
that topping looks SO good. and also your mom's reactions were AMAZING.
Haha she’s quite an expressive person 😂
I love your family! That is an excellent hummus recipe! Using dried chickpeas is essential. The toasted garlic and lemon zest is a wonderful idea.
I made this today and it was sooo good! For the love of god do not skip the last step. The oil and the crunchy lemon and garlic make all the difference!!
HOW COME MY WHITE BOY IS NOT EATING IT 😭😭😭 i’m actually screaming
lol--i did, too!!! XD
Her mom is savage and I am here for it 😩😩🤣😂🤣😂
I mean the hummus was good but that was the best part of the video 😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂 I was about to comment that then realized you already commented it.
I screamed and I'm at work!
Your family is hilarious (your mom is especially adorable)! And thanks for the lovely recipe! I love hommous and
confess to buying the Sabra brand in the store, or sometimes another brand, but I prefer to let it come to room temperature. Never had much success making it from scratch, but that’s probably because I used canned chickpeas. One of these days, I’ll try it really from scratch, the way you did, Nisha! Thank you! 🙏🏼
Adorable or racist?
@@renskeconnell8038Saying white boy is now racist? Come tf on man
@@renskeconnell8038
You’re being ridiculous.
Love your family! 🌿
Your sister is gorgeous, your mother is sensational, and your father and brother in-law make me laugh. 😅
And you, our lawyer who was drawn to the culinary arts, is simply beautiful!
Your mother is hilarious, she's an absolute legend!!
Here in Toronto Canada tomorrow is mother's day. My mum died a long time ago, too soon age 66. So glad to watch a happy family and best wishes to all. Sent flowers to my best friend, best mum I know.
I love the food you made and I made it and it was so good
I was going through my pantry yesterday and noticed I had a ton of chickpeas... so this recipe came at a perfect time! 😊
Love it when the timing is perfect!
Im here to see your parents. Such a lovely relationship between you and your parents. Your recipes are very easy to follow…Stay blessed ❤🥰
As a Lebanese most of your tips are accurate ! (we don't use lemon zest though but that's something new )
Thanks Racha, appreciate the feedback! The lemon zest is a fun way to spruce it up, but not necessary :)
Levantine receipe is a bit different bit Lebanese originally yes
@Racha Oukhaba I was just about to comment on that too. 🇱🇧😊
My favourite food is Lebanese.
@@raymollyraymolly722 This is so nice to hear. Our food is very clean and healthy, providing you don't indulge in too much baklawa and pastries. 😇🥰
I came for the Hummus, but I stayed for your MOM! lolol She is too funny!
great recipe. The baking soda works great and really like the lemon zest/ garlic combination. Now need to tackle Pita bread ;-) thank you
Don't fuss with the peeling, use chana dal (split chickpeas!) from any local indian food store! Cooks faster, softer, doesn't need soaking, and no peels!
No matter how different everyone in the world is, we are so much the same 🤣. Your family has great comedic timing. Wonderful video.
right? when her dad said "okay we're taking too long" it was just like my dad lol
Thanks!
Thanks for supporting my work, Shahram!! 😊
Your mom is a riot, Nisha! 🤣 I like your family as taste testers-very entertaining 😆 I’ll try it this way-the baking soda and ice water AND the toppings! Yum 😋 Thank you! ♥️🌱♥️
lol she certainly can be! i hope you will love this version!
You have the most adorable family. Thank you for sharing this delicious recipe and this beautiful moment of eating (and laughing lol) together
Aww thank you! I am so happy you enjoyed the video and seeing my family!
I’ve tried making hummus at home before in the past and always hated it but we LOVE hummus. I just tried this recipe and my kids and I are loving it!! It’s so good. I put a little less tahini because it’s my preference but otherwise followed it to a T and it’s great
* Complains about tiny guitar cutting board *
* Normal sized cutting board literally in the next shot *
🙃🙃🙃🙃
And in the background
actually in almost every shot lol
It could be that she eventually asked her parents where the cutting boards are and they told her where, and they were in the STRANGEST of all places.
Like in my parents' house.
@@biancanapoles1725, you can see the garlic and lemon zest on the big cutting board as she is saying that there is no other cutting board. So, she had already used it and knew it was there, idk.
The way the mother dances, happy with food....im happy to see I'm not the only one hahaha
The head wobble is not dancing. It is the way Indians communicate that they like something. It is like when we nod our head.
your mum is adorable. i love that you include your family. thankyou for the cute vid
Your mom is so funny! “Let’s take a picture like this.” Cracked me up!
lol she is! And she always wants to take a picture 😂
@@RainbowPlantLife The hummus looked sooo good too!!
That was so cute
By the way, you actually do have a cutting board there, where you put the garlic & lemon.
I just made this Nisha and you're absolutely right, lots of garlic and lemon juice are necessary! Delicious. Love from Chile!
When I was in Israël I was eating huge dishes with hummus. I put on weight and never lost it hahaha! Looks very nice 🤩
in palestine* hummus is an arabic dish :)
@@mariam-mx3ys I went to Tel Aviv in Israel and had the best hummus
@@marioher4978 probably the owner was Arab
@@mariam-mx3ys 1. "Palestine" doesn't exist.
2. Hummus is not an Arab dish. It belongs to all Middle Eastern peoples and cultures. It's a regional food, not an ethnic food.
This recipe with the sautéed garlic and lemon zest is cleverly creative. Shabash Nisha JI! Yashir Koach is Hebrew for approximately "More power to you!" Your family is terrific!
Can't wait to try this. Just to let you know (referencing 5:12), you parents' cutting board is behind you next to the stove. You just used it in the last scene. Great looking hummus!
