Spicy Indian-Style Hummus

Blazing summer temperatures call for something simple with minimal amount of preparation and cooking. Hummus is always a summertime favorite and because I like a bit of kick to my meals, I present my readers with a spicy version. A great appetizer or a meal just on its own served with fresh vegetables, lightly toasted pita triangles or pappadams, this is a must try summer dip.
