Pita bread
Ingredients:
Luke warm water 1/4th cup
Luke warm milk ½ cup
Curd ½ cup
Olive oil 1 tbsp
Sugar 2 tbsp
Refined flour 2 cup
Wheat flour 1 cup
Baking powder 1 tsp
Baking soda 1/4th tsp
Salt 1 tsp
Oil as required
Method:
In a mixing bowl, add water, milk, curd, oil and sugar, mix well until the sugar dissolves, further use a sieve and add the remaining dry ingredients, sift them together and add them to the liquid mixture, mix until its combined well.
Once combined well, dust some dry flour over the platform and transfer the dough, start to knead the dough and knead well for 10-12 minutes while stretching it well, make sure to knead until the dough is smooth in texture. Shape the dough like a huge ball size by tightly tucking it inwards.
Take a bowl and grease it with oil, place the dough and also grease the surface with oil, cover the bowl with either plastic wrap or a lid and allow the dough to proof and rest in a warm place for at least an hour.
After the rest, knead the dough once again and roll into a foot long log, you can and further divide in equal size dough balls, you’ll be getting around 7-8 size dough balls that’ll eventually give you 8-inch 7-8 pita breads, you can choose to divide in smaller dough balls depending on the size and number of pita breads you would wish to make.
Cover the dough balls with a moist cloth and rest it for another 5-6 minutes.
After the rest, coat the dough balls with dry flour, flatten with hands and further use a rolling pin to roll into a thick chapati. Use flour if required.
Set a tawa and cook the chapati/pita bread over a hot tawa on both the sides until golden spots appear, use a napkin and press the pita bread gently to fluff up the bread while cooking.
Cook the all the pita bread in same way, keep the cooked pita bread covered in a moist cloth or in a casserole until you use it for making shawarma.

Ice cubes 2-3 cubes
Virgin olive oil 3 tbsp
Curd 1/2 cup (completely optional)
Method:
I've soaked ½ cup of kabuli chana for 6 hours & boiled & also reserved the chickpea water.
Use a mixer grinder, add the cooked kabuli chane, and the remaining ingredients, use pulse mode and grind until its fine in texture, add the reserved chickpea water while grinding for ease in the process.
You can adjust the consistency of the hummus by adding the reserved chickpea water. I've used 200 ml in total.
Your hummus is ready, store in the fridge until used.
