Hummus is one of the most popular Middle-Eastern exports, often served with freshly cut carrots, cucumbers, pita bread, and falafel. Originally made from chickpea, this creamy dip gets a desi makeover in this rajma (kidney beans) hummus recipe, best enjoyed with crispy pita chips that you can buy from the store (or toast leftover pita bread and make them at home). Compared to the creamy chickpea hummus, rajma hummus has a slightly reddish brown color but the same texture.
