I am a breakfast person and that too a bread person. I just love my toast of bread with egg or my buttered toast with tea.
Now, lets face it, its a dream to have butter and bread but I can't have it on daily basis. In fact at present there is no butter in my home.
This is a substitute I discovered that I can happily apply in good amount on my bread and enjoy my breakfast without missing the butter.
Its called hummus. It has a very delicate and subtle taste. I just love it on my bread. This is my breakfast 5 days a week, toast and hummus with tea. Its easy, delicious and healthy.
You can google for recipe, here I am giving how I make it. Don't forget to make adjustment as per your need.
Ingredients :
1. Chickpeas - 1 cup
2. Curd - 2-3 tsp. You can add more curd to make the consistency like a paste.
3. 1 green chili.
4. 2 tsp olive oil.
5. 1/4 (4-5 drops )of lemon. You can add more if you like.
6. 2-3 cloves of garlic (optional).
7. Salt to taste.
Method :
Soak chickpeas over night and then boil. In a grinder, add chickpeas, green chili, curd, garlic and salt. Grind to a paste.
Take it out in a air tight jar and add olive oil and lemon and mix well. Keep in fridge. This can be used for 4-5 days.
Enjoy.
Shiva, Is this the one that is there in the 'falafil' that we get here in the gulf? I've had it in the Petra Restaurants.
