Method

For the crispies (puris)

Mix all the ingredients together and knead into stiff dough by adding enough water.
Divide the dough into 40 equal portions and roll out each portion into a puri of 37 mm (1½") diameter using a little flour.
Prick the puris with a fork at regular intervals.
Arrange them on a well-greased baking tray and bake in a hot oven at 180° C (360°F) for 15 minutes or until the puris are crisp and golden brown.
Cool and store in an air-tight jar.

For the hummus

Drain the kabuli chana, add ½ cup of water and salt and pressure cook for 3 to 4 whistles. Cool and strain. Keep the Kabuli chana and water aside separately.
Mix the garlic, sesame seeds, lemon juice, curds, oil, salt and ¼ cup of the strained water, and run through a blender until smooth.
Add the cooked kabuli chana and blend again till smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add 2 to 3 tablespoons of the strained water and continue blending.
Place this mixture in a bowl and sprinkle parsley, chilli powder and oil over it.
Serve with the baked crispy puris.
