Quick and Easy Hummus Recipe
What is Hummus?
Hummus is a savoury type of dip or spread that is made using cooked chickpeas, tahini, fresh lemon juice, and garlic. It originated from the Middle east, and has evolved to become a popular side dish in contemporary restaurants across the world today. Best served fresh, hummus is often enjoyed as an appetizer or mezze, along with flatbread or tortilla chips. It is typically topped with a generous layer of olive oil and a sprinkle of paprika, and can be garnished with coriander, parsley, caramelized onion or chopped tomatoes. |
| Quick and Easy Hummus Recipe |
The National Dish of Israel
In Israel, hummus has been regarded as the unofficial national dish thanks to its popularity across the country, with many restaurants having this item on their menus. Here, the chickpeas are first softened using baking soda before being blended with tahini, cumin, olive oil and garlic. Among many versions, the msabaha is Israel's own creative take on hummus, which is prepared using a special lemon-spiked tahini and topped with whole, plump chickpeas.Health Benefits of Hummus
The main ingredient of hummus is chickpeas. This type of legume is loaded with vitamin B6, manganese, dietary fiber and protein. Healthy fat content can also be derived from the olive oil and tahini used, making this dish both filling and nutritional!How To Make Hummus from Scratch
There are only a few basic ingredients needed for easy homemade hummus, and they can easily be found at supermarkets today such as garlic, lemon, olive oil, salt and tahini. You will need a blender or a food processor to blitz everything together until you get a coarse, thick puree. |
| The basic ingredients for hummus are salt, olive oil, tahina, garlic, and lemon. |
 |
| Ground cumin in a secret ingredient in hummus |
 |
| Soak the chickpeas overnight and do not discard the water. The reserved water has its purpose. |
 |
| Tahini is a type of condiment from the Middle East made from toasted hulled sesame |
 |
| Blend everything together, except for olive oil and lemon. Gradually add in the reserved water until the desired consistency is achieved. |
 |
| You can store the hummus in the refrigerator for up to 10 days. Add olive oil and lemon only before consumption. |
|
| I like a little coarseness in my hummus, just like how I would prefer chunky peanut butter spread over smooth. Add a quick dust of paprika for taste. |
 |
| Serve the hummus with warm flat breads for a quick and healthy snack. |
Happy cooking!

Easy Chapati Recipe
I did not use to like chapati - the texture is simply too dry and tenacious for my liking. However, my perception of this Indian flat bread has changed when I realized it is a much healthier and easily-digestible alternative to other heavily oil-coated rotis and parathas.
The best part? Making it is a breeze.
For this recipe, you'll need only 4 very basic ingredients, a handy rolling pin and a flat pan to char the bread into bubbly perfection.
Cooking time: 10 minutes
Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients
1 cup whole wheat flour (Atta)
1/2 cup water
1 tsp salt
1 tbs vegetable oil

10 Must-Try Cambodian Dishes
Cambodia offers more than just temples and spectacular ancient ruins - visitors are given the opportunity to experience the ultimate gastronomic indulgence throughout their stay here. An average meal in this region typically consists of dishes of contrasting textures and flavors, served with an obligatory bowl of freshly steamed local rice. Each dish is heartily prepared using numerous types of herbs and pickled vegetables, and dipping sauces of all color sorts are always readily sitting on the tables, acting as a magical taste-enhancing potion that must not be disregarded during meals.
While there are countless Cambodian dishes worth mentioning, listed below are 10 of my top picks which I think you should definitely try!

Lok Lak
Perhaps my favorite Khmer dish of all, Lok Lak is an emblematic dish in this country and is most commonly prepared using beef (options of chicken and fish are available too).

Red Tree Ants with Beef Stir-Fry
More than anything, Cambodia is known for its exotic delicacies. Insects, including tarantulas, are common on restaurant menus and it is said that this particular dish - red tree ants stir-fried with beef is always the top pick. It is almost like a salad thanks to the generous addition of nutritious vegetables such as ginger, lemongrass, holy basil leaves, shallots, garlic and of course chilies. |

Renew Malaysian Passports on Weekends
Let's face it - we work full time in demanding professions, besides having to juggle between family and personal obligations. Over the period, time becomes a rare commodity and every hour wasted measures up to 60 minutes of regret.
Working full time also means having only the weekends to follow through with any personal matter, and passport renewal is one such. Since Malaysian Immigration Offices typically open only on the weekdays from 7.30am to 5.30pm, some had to go out of their way to request for a half-day leave just to have their passports renewed.
Fret not - renewing your Malaysian passports over the weekends is possible!

Top 5 Things to See in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina
I love the Balkans. To me, it is the western variation of Southeast Asia - cultural, vibrant and exceptionally full of life. It was in this region that I learned to immerse in the sights and sounds presented before me and just to explore freely.
The sweetest reminiscence I have of this region is the emerald green river flowing through Mostar. As one of the most ethnically diverse city in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Mostar is rich in culture and in history. This former war-torn city has undergone extensive restoration to be reinstated as the beautiful destination that it is today.

I arrived at the Old Town of Mostar misty-eyed and sentimental. How can a place be this beautiful?
Just days ago, I witnessed the bluest of seas and earth's most beautiful stretch of mountains as I traveled across Greece, Albania and Montenegro. Being able to experience all of Balkans' raw, undisguised beauty will forever remain as my life's best adventure.

Mostar is different.
This quaint Ottoman town is laced with cobblestone streets and charming old stone buildings. There is so much more to this town than just the iconic Old Bridge. It welcomes hearty locals and curious visitors alike to its lush forested mountains, cherished medieval holy sites and offbeat statues. One can blithely swim under waterfalls, explore abandoned ruins and be on an endless hunt for creative expressions left behind by poetical artists in the form of street art.

Stari Most
Stari Most or Old Bridge is a rebuilt 16th-century Ottoman bridge which crosses the river Neretva. It is the most iconic landmark in the country and an exemplary Balkan Islamic architecture that is 28 meters long and 20 meters in height. In mid summer each year, the Stari Most diving competition is held where bold local men jump off the bridge and into the cold Neretva river - making it a sight not to be missed!

Don't Forget Stones
The Siege of Mostar took place twice - in 1992 and 1993. It resulted in approximately 2,000 casualties, 90,000 refugees and the destruction of historic bridges, religious buildings and cultural institutions. Today, tourists can find stones placed across the town to remind them of the history and the lives lost to the wars. |
