Easy hummus

The ingredients:
Boiled Chickpeas or what we call Choley a cup of it, retain the water,
Tahini, or sesame seed paste, well I made my own by first roasting 3 heaps of it on tawa and then making a fine paste by adding olive oil and some water from boiled chickpea.
Roasted Garlic, a few cloves
Lime juice
Salt and pinch of sugar for taste
Olive oil lots of it.

Blend all the ingredients in a blender; add olive oil time and again till you get a smooth paste like consistency.

You can use Hummus as a spread or a dip!
It goes very well with roasted or pan fried brinjal, toasted brown bread, tortilla chips or as a spread on a sandwich with meat and veggies.
