Here’s another plant-based tip from my kitchen to yours (even though I’m currently in Japan!), a lick-the-bowl it's so good,  oil-free curry hummus and my new favorite cracker! I take crackers very seriously.
- 1½ cups cooked chickpeas
 - 2 garlic cloves, minced
 - 2 tsp curry powder 
 - 2 tbsp well-stirred tahini 
 - 2 tbsp lemon juice 
 - ¼-⅓ cup cooking liquid or water* 
 - ½ tsp red pepper flakes 
 - ¼-½ tsp teaspoon salt 
 
 
Add all ingredients to a food processor or blender with a plunger,  starting with ¼ cup liquid and ¼ teaspoon salt. Process or blend until the mix is smooth. Stop and scrape down the sides to ensure all ingredients are incorporated. Add more water or cooking liquid, 1 tablespoon at a time, and continue to process until a creamy texture is achieved. Taste and reseason with salt and enjoy!
 
* You can also use canned liquid here. I suggest a no-sodium added can of chickpeas if you do!
