Ful Medamus is a breakfast eaten and enjoyed in Cairo since time immemorial. It’s a healthy and nutritious meal not restricted as a breakfast. But it’s enjoyed as a Breakfast for sure. Its main ingredient is Ful or Fava beans. Mashed and cooked with any spices one prefers. I used cumin, coriander and red chilli powder, a bit of lime juice and rock salt. Combined with boiled egg, falaphel for sure which has Fava beans also and bread.
