made a childhood friend Nebola that he wants a quick and easy recipe for hummus and high protein pitha bread. So we made this Middle Eastern cuisine with a twist in just 25 minutes. To make this delicious hummus creamy, smooth and proteinpacked, we used silken tofu and aquafaba, the liquid from cooked chickpeas, which is also a great source of nutrients. Instead of using maida to make pa, we used whole wheat flour and chickpea flour. It literally took us 6 minutes to bake it. Comment hummus to get the recipe and don’t forget to follow us for more such quick, healthy and mind-b blowing recipes. Cheers.
