Fatteh hummus is a very popular dish in the Middle East. It is a very common dish to be served for breakfast on Fridays. This can be served on brunches, lunch or dinner as starter or side. I prefer to serve it as main for Iftar during Ramadan as it is very filling meal.
Fatteh Hummus is a bowl of healthiness, crispy bread topped with chickpeas and creamy yogurt, having tanginess of lemon and hint of Tahina, garnished with your favorite nuts, pomegranate and olive oil. This dish is equally popular in Vegetarian and Non Vegetarian as its packed with protein and rich in nuts.
