I have made this recipe a number of times, and it never seems like enough! Great flavor and healthy on top of it - a real winner!

Delicious! Great combination of flavors and a truly Mid-Eastern flair!

I can never understand why people don't try the recipe before they decide to change it. Perfect just the way it is! I have changed recipes, but always try them first.

I didn't use the peppers because I didn't have them. Omitted the salt and curry powder. I added 1 tablespoon of chives (because I love them) and about 1-1/2 tsp of water so it wasn't so thick. Added Kalamata olives to top it off when serving, Yummy!

I just found this page with my recipe and am thrilled to find other people who love this recipe!  I now serve the hummus with sandwich thins cut into wedges as they are low-fat. Also suggest drizzling olive oil over the top and sprinkling with cayenne pepper - it makes a gorgeous dish served in a white bowl. 

 Thanks for your comments!

Sooo pleased to have hummus success at last with this recipe! I did have to leave out the curry & coriander as I didn't have those. Also reduced the salt by 1/4 tsp, which didn't hurt it a bit. Will make again!

I looked everywhere and couldn't find tahini so I used more olive oil instead. This recipe had a bit too much curry powder in it for me I will probably only due 1/2 teaspoon next time. I also added a little cayenne pepper for a kick.

I've made this several times. We think it tastes better the second day.

Excellent. I had to add some water b/c I don't have a food processor; I just use my blender. Didn't have curry, so substituted some turmeric instead. Turned out great!
