Instructions:

- Gradually add the water to the mixture, blending continuously until you achieve your desired hummus consistency. If needed, you can add a bit more water.
- Add the finely chopped onions, a dash of black pepper, and a dash of salt to the hummus. Pulse the food processor a few times to incorporate these ingredients, ensuring the onions are well mixed but still provide some texture.
- Add the toasted peanuts and the chopped coriander leaves to the hummus mixture. Pulse the food processor a few times, just enough to incorporate them into the hummus without completely blending them smooth.
- Add the lime juice to the hummus and give it one last blend to ensure all the flavors are well integrated. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or chili sauce if needed.
- Transfer the Thai peanut hummus to a serving bowl. Serve immediately with the celery sticks on the side for dipping. You can also chill the hummus in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving for a firmer texture.
- Sprinkle some additional chopped coriander leaves and a few whole peanuts on top for garnish before serving.
