Hummus

Middle eastern food,arabic breakfast

This recipe gave me the real authentic taste of arabic Hummus.Serve this along with Khubbus or any flat bread for a very healthy protein rich breakfast.
Hummus is a healthy Middle eastern dip or spread made from cooked Chick peas(Garbanzo beans),Tahini,Garlic&Lime.
Though its very common in Middle east,I am trying to share the recipe with the people around other parts of the Globe.
As an appetizer and dip, hummus is scooped with flat bread  (such as pita ).
