Hummus is an amazingly nutritious dish and a rich source of protein. Originally, it is made up of boiled chickpeas blended with tahini, lemon juice and garlic. It’s is an extremely popular dish in Middle East and now around the globe.

It’s a smooth, creamy paste that melts in your mouth and the taste lingers around your tongue. My friend once asked me whether I know how to make hummus and I was like “Yes”. Next I went to google to find out hundreds of tabs to learn everything about hummus. And today, I bring to you most nutritious, my version of hummus.

A Hummus which is made up with black eyed beans, popularly known as Chawli in India. It has plenty of fiber, protein and by adding these beans to your diet is a great way to boost weight loss.
