Recipe for Kidney Bean Hummus

The Traditional Hummus is made from Chickpeas. However, there is an Egyptian restaurant in the UAE where I enjoyed a bowl of Red Kidney Bean Hummus and decided to try making Hummus from various pulses after that.

I use Black eyed beans, Sprouted Black chickpea, Whole Moong, Sprouted Black Beans, etc.

Here’s how I make a healthier yet creamy version of Hummus without the use of tahini and excess oil. Do give it a Try. It is so Healthy and just so delicious.

Ingredients

½ Cup Red Kidney Bean(Soaked Over Night & Boiled with a little salt until soft & mushy)
2 Tbspn Unsweetened Yogurt
1 Tspn Juice of Lemon
2-3 Medium sized cloves of Garlic
½ Tspn Smoked Paprika(optional)
Salt(only if required)
2 Tspn Extra Virgin Olive Oil(Hummus tastes best with OliveOil)

Instructions

Boil the Kidney Beans until nice and Mushy. Softer the beans, tastier and creamier will be the Hummus
In a Mixer grinder, add all the ingredients and make a smooth fine paste
Your super delicious and creamy Hummus is ready!!
Enjoy it with some grilled Chicken and don’t forget your Khaboos or if you’d like to try out the recipe of my Crispy Masala Jowar Roti, I've shared the link below. it tastes superb with Hummus!
