Add the oil. Add half the olive oil, mix, then add the rest with another ice cube.
Season. Add the jeera, salt and lemon juice and blend until smooth. Add a few more chickpeas if it is not creamy enough.
Serve. Transfer to a bowl, garnish with olives and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve with pita bread.
