Hummus

Hummus  is super simple to make and its really healthy and delicious. You can make it from the scratch by soaking the chic peas and cooking them or you could very well use a can (but trust me doing by scratch is worth it) 

Apple, Plum and Fig Chutney


Chutney is a very versatile side condiment which was mostly famous on an Indian plate. But now-a-days you see the use of Chutney in multiple ways. Of course on an Indian plate but these little condiments full of flavour acts as a great sandwich spread too and they make lovely edible gifts too. You can be flexible and use the fruits of your choice.
