Sikilpak Ingredients: 1 cup unhulled raw pumpkin seeds 1/4 cup raw hulled pumpkinseeds 3 to 6 tomatoes 1 habanero chile, or any fresh green chile such as jalapeño or serrano Salt to taste 1/3 to 2/3 cups water 2 tablespoons roughly chopped cilantro 2 tablespoons minced chives Preparation: Heat a skillet or wide pan over medium heat. While mixing frequently, toast the unhulled pumpkin seeds until browned and crisp. The amount of time needed depends on the freshness of the pumpkinseeds and may take anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes. Some of the pumpkin seeds will pop. Once well-browned, add the hulled pumpkin seeds and toast for an additional minute. Set the toasted pumpkin seeds aside and let cool. In the same skillet, char the chiles and tomatoes while turning frequently until blistered in spots.

Blend the charred tomatoes with about 1/3 cup of water. Stir into thepumpkin seed powder and add the cilantro and chives. The consistency should be smooth, resembling a coarser version of hummus or baba ghanoush. Top with the minced chile. Taste and adjust the seasoning with kosher salt if needed. Serve with toasted tortilla chips.
