I have a recipe for Hummus which is a greek dip.It requires Sesame seed pastewhich my wife has never heard of!!So anyone in Isaan land heard of it?The name for it is Tahini.I live near Udon Thani.

If you have the seeds you can make your own paste?

Lots at any market around here.

The Arab nations make take issue with your idea that humus is Greek!

Pro tip for Hummus: after boiling your chickpeas, get the skins off....it's annoying but you'll be rewarded with a creamier, yummier end product.

 

While you're at it, also do babaghanoush....which is almost the same but uses the pulp of roasted eggplants made into a paste.

 

Both need Tahini.

Tops Supermarket has a branch in Udon Thani.

 

Tahini can be ordered online http://www.tops.co.th/en/

but, when you see the price, you will probably want to make your own.

Oh yes forgot its north African!!Thanks for many tips.Now I have mastered my breadmaker I will get on making Humus!!!
