Notes
- Add reserved chickpea water gradually to control hummus thickness and avoid overly thin texture.
- Adjust spice and acidity by adding more jalapeños, chili powder, or lemon juice to match taste preferences.
- If using dried chickpeas, soak overnight or boil until soft; reserve soaking water for blending.
- For a smoother hummus, peel chickpea skins and roasted pepper skins before blending.
