Here’s a great twist on a classic houmous to have on hand. It makes a great snack with cucumber and flatbread or as part of a larger spread. You can also use it in a more elaborate composed dish such as our Bombay Cauliflower. We love to use it as a sandwich filling. in a naan bread or chapatti wrap with mounds of crunchy veg, some lime pickle for a bit of heat and a dollop of thick yoghurt.
