- To make the hummus, add the chickpeas, lemon, grated garlic clove, cumin, coriander and salt to a blender.
- As it is blending to a paste, slowly add the sesame oil until a smooth puree consistency is achieved
- To make the yoghurt, place the yoghurt in a j-cloth or clean towel, rest in a sieve over a bowl, and leave in the fridge for 2 hours for the excess water content to drip into the bowl.
- Mix the thickened yoghurt with the harissa paste, season with salt and lime.
- Tip the dough onto a floured bench and knock it back . Cut the dough into 6.
- Use hands to flatten it out shapes about 1 cm thick.
