Poached eggs with hummus and khubz

We had eaten this amazing combination at a cafe in Defence Colony and vowed to go back there for more. Sadly, the place shut down but that didn’t stop me from re-creating this at home. This plate is loaded with proteins, carbs and of course tonnes of deliciousness. Best, when the hummus is prepared beforehand so it is cool and has settled down. Also, like I promised during my last attempt at making hummus, this one turned out to be much better. And quicker. Here is poached eggs with hummus and khubz.

  • Keep adding water to the mixer and grind till the hummus becomes a smooth paste.
