Edamame Hummus

Serves: 2-3

Ingredients

To garnish

Method

Note: If you desire a spicy hummus, garnish with red chilly powder.

For a Jain version, omit the garlic and onions and add a generous pinch of hing or asafetida.

This hummus is ideal for shawarma. Replace the mayonnaise in Ramapriya Suresh's Street-Style Chicken Shawarma recipe with hummus or add both.

Chef Ajay Thakur is the corporate chef at Bayroute, a restaurant in Mumbai.
