New Delhi: Hummus is a popular Middle Eastern dip, enjoyed for its rich flavours and health benefits. It is a delicious chickpea dip that can be enjoyed with pita bread, vegetable sticks, used in sandwiches or any other healthy recipe you wish to make at home. While traditional hummus recipes include tahini, which makes it even more flavourful to try.
However, it is not possible to add tahini at all times while making the dip at home. Here is our version of hummus dip without tahini, a lighter and more accessible option that still delivers a rich, flavorful dip. Here is your step-by-step guide to making this super delicious dip at home without any unhealthy items in it.
