Peanutty Thai Curry Hummus

October 19, 2015 by Faith 16 Comments

This Peanutty Thai Curry Hummus is full of some of my favorite Thai flavors: peanut, coconut, garlic, ginger, fish sauce, and fresh lime!

Peanutty Thai Curry Hummus 1

It was the strangest thing. I woke up on a day like any other…ate my regular breakfast, did my normal workout, showered, replied to a few emails, and headed to the fridge for a post-workout snack. I grabbed what I saw first, hummus and a carrot. Happy as a lark, I dunked the carrot into the hummus, only to discover that I was over it.

It wasn’t working for me, to the point where I couldn’t even finish my snack.

Hummus just wasn’t my thing anymore (or so I thought).

That was like three years ago.

Peanutty Thai Curry Hummus 2

Since then, my husband and I have lived in Kuwait for a year (and subsequently moved back stateside), where hummus is a serious staple in the diet/lifestyle (let’s just say, you’re bound to come head to head with hummus in the Middle East). I fairly successfully avoided it the whole time, as I still just wasn’t in the mood.

I have no idea what brought on this sudden random food aversion, and honestly, it’s a bit frightening. (First it’s hummus, but what’s next? Indian food? French cheese? DARK CHOCOLATE? Shudder. Make it stop.) So after not having hummus for literally years, I decided to revisit it with flavors I always love: Thai!

My palate was somewhat confused (is it curry? Is it sweet? Is it savory? Do I actually like hummus again?). My hummus crisis is over though. I’m relieved to report that I happily ate my fair share of this batch.

This flavorful hummus is great with fresh pita bread, pita chips, crackers, or raw veggies for dipping, and any leftovers are delicious dolloped on salad greens (for more ideas on how to use leftover hummus, check out this article on Cooking Light). Serve this hummus at any party and it’s sure to be gone by the end of the evening!

This is pretty cool. Online I found quite a few Thai-inspired hummus recipes with the same name, but each recipe is a little different! Here they are if you want to check them out for more inspiration:

    I don’t have powdered peanut butter. Do you think finely ground peanuts would work or organic peanut butter? I love the Thai inspiration here. I think I will make it and not tell my husband it has chick peas in it! I bet he will really like it.

      Laurie, You can use unsweetened natural peanut butter (the kind that you have to stir) instead of the powdered peanut butter and water, and just add a splash of water if necessary to thin it out to your desired consistency. If you want to look for powdered peanut butter, you might be able to find it at your regular grocery store – I get it in the Nature’s Marketplace area of Wegmans (which is the grocery store where I normally shop at). I hope you (and your hubby!) enjoy it if you give it a try! :)

    This sounds amazing. I’m actually not the biggest hummus fan either, but I adore Thai curry so maybe this yummy flavour would convince me :)
