Tatbeela is a condiment made from green chilis and lemon juice traditionally added to hummus.[1][2]

In Arabic, tatbeela (Arabic: تتبيلة) simply means "seasoning", derived from the root tab-bala (Arabic: تَبَّلَ).[3]

Ingredients and preparation

Tatbila is made from a mixture of green chiles (such as serrano chiles), garlic, lemon juice, water, and various herbs and spices. The exact recipe can vary depending on the region and the individual cook's preferences, but common herbs and spices used include parsley, cilantro, cumin, and paprika.[4][5][6]

To prepare tatbila, the ingredients are typically combined in a food processor or blender and puréed until smooth. Some variations may call for additional ingredients, such as yogurt or mayonnaise, to give the condiment a creamier texture.[7]
