EGYPTIAN FUL - Street Food - Vegan breakfast
Ful - is a stew of cooked fava beans, it is very famous staple food in Egypt, especially in the northern cities of Cairo and Giza.
Ancient Egyptians opted for beans as an alternative to meat as the crop is rich in protein and nutrients that boost immunity.
This is the Ful episode from our FAVA BEANS mini-series.
This series presents two dishes from across the Mediterranean that share similar cooking methods and the same main ingredient fava beans but presented and served in a different and intriguing way.

How to make Ful at home: 8/10 Servings
FUL
500g Small brown Fava beans
1 Squeeze ½ lemon
Sea Salt Flakes
Sunflower Oil
Soak the fava beans or in water for at least 12 hours.
Then wash and put the ful in the pot covered with boiling water then on to the hot plate for a few hours. This can take anything from 3 to 6 hours, depending on how dry the beans were.
Once ready leave it aside before serving it depending if you want it plain or seasoned.
If you serve it plain you just add salt sunflower oil and a squeeze of lemon.
BALADY BREAD
4 Cups of bread Flour or 480g
15g fresh yeast
8g table salt
90ml warm water yeast
455ml Water
Wheat Bran
Sieve the flour in a large bowl, put the yeast in warm water and dissolve it by mixing them together… you can always add some sugar to speed up this process.
Leave it to get activated for about 5 minutes for a better proof.
Put the foamy yeast mixture on the flour and mix, then start adding water a little at a time while mixing until it forms a thick but loose dough. Work the dough for 10/15 minutes to give elasticity.
Cover with cling film and leave it to rest and prove in a warm place for about 1 hour to 1 ½ depending on your room temperature.
Get a bowl filled with water and wet your hands before handling the dough so it wouldn’t stick to them and start dividing the dough into balls.
Put these dough balls on a bed of bran leaving space between each one of them so they wouldn’t stick together as they will spread. Leave it to rest and prove again for half an hour, again, the proving time depends on how warm the temperature of the environment is.
Meanwhile, preheat your oven on the highest temperature, at least 250 C with the baking tray in. Passed the second fermentation on the bran slowly, and carefully lift each dough and stretch it to a thickness of ½ cm. Then lift each piece and transfer them on the hot baking tray and bake for about 4 minutes or until the bread puffs up completely, flip the bread on the other side and bake for a further 2 minutes to take colour. Take the bread off the oven and put them on a towel and leave to cool off.
SARA'S DAD RECIPE (ALEXANDRIAN FUL) 3/4 Servings
3 medium heat sliced chilis (red and green)
2 cloves of chopped garlic
1 ½ chopped tomatoes
4 Tbsps of sunflower oil to cook and another 2 Tbsps to drizzle on top
2 Tbsps of sugar cane white vinegar
2 cups of the cooked fava beans or Ful
1 Tbsp of tahini paste
Salt to taste
Some parsley to garnish
In a medium pan, pour 4 Tbsps of oil and fry or sizzle the chilis for a few minutes then add the garlic and give it a stir, make sure it doesn’t burn, add the tomatoes and cook for a few minutes more.When the tomatoes lose their juice add the vinegar and Ful and leave to cook for few minutes or so then add the salt and tahini and start mashing everything together with a fork.
Put the Ful on a serving plate then drizzle with oil and put some chopped parsley on top.

This was my favorite breakfast when I worked at a hospital in Saudi Arabia! Thank you for sharing this recipe.
I’ve never had ful. I’m, I guess, a normal Caucasian American... small town girl and never traveled anywhere.
This video kept me completely engrossed. Now I really want to try ful! Thank you so much. You’re captivating ❤️🙏🏻
Please do try it, you’re gonna love it 😍

chaacbze thank you so much 😊 🙏🏻
Wow! Masha2Allah! You’ve really done justice to one of our most ubiquitous staples and national dishes! And as an Egyptian expat myself, I’m especially impressed that you even baked your own baladi bread fresh, and that everything, from the ful to the bread was prepared from scratch. Truly, ful medames is best enjoyed with fresh-baked baladi bread, still warm from the baker’s oven, and here you’ve proven it like a champ. Kudos to you!
I’m speechless 😶 it’s great to be appreciated and thanks to you for that, I’m actually trying my best to show the world our lovely Egyptian food as it’s not known at all

Thanks to you for your lovely words and for watching 😊🙏🏻
Thank you for sharing this :) I love trying new foods from all over the world, so you sharing so clearly how to make food that I've never tasted makes me want to make it all! :)
Thank you so much for your sweet comment
Please do try our food, I’m sure you are not going to regret it 😊
I love Ful Medames! I have a hard time finding dry fava beans, so I usually make it with canned favas. I've never used vinegar when I make it, so I am excited to try your recipe! Thank you for sharing!
I'm going to make the fava bean recipe without the pressure cooker. I'll just get a can of fava beans cause I don't have a pressure cooker.
@@TammyTimeMovies : That pot isn’t a pressure cooker. It’s just the traditional “qidra” that we use to slowly cook the fava beans. It’s just a pot with a bulbous lower part and a narrow neck, but there’s no pressure involved. In a pinch, any pot where you can slowly cook the beans will do.
Yes I see it's not a pressure cooker... I responded to another site they had a pressure cooker and then I posted it on yours too oops I eventually made the recipe without fava beans cause I couldn't find them at the time I used butter beans it came out great
YUM‼️
Thank you 😊
This recipe has suddenly given my life a new purpose, I'll cook ful.
Ohhh 😲 that’s very sweet of you 🙏🏻🙏🏻 thank you so much 😊
ماشاء الله تسلم ايديكى يجنن والعيش تحفه ❤واحسن حاجه نضرب الفول وعالشغل😂😂😂

انا جربت وصفة العيش والفول وطلع اكثر من رائع والطعم جنان
😋😋😋
الله يسلمك حبيبتي شكرا ليكي ❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻
This is an excellent video. I like how you described the type of oil you used in this recipe. Many cooking videos leave this information out, despite the fact it is crucial for achieving the correct flavour, according to the cuisine.
Thank you so much for appreciating this 🙏🏻

Love your show wish you had Egyptian music in the back instead or no music. Your recipes are delicious.
Thank you so much 😊 unfortunately we have to pay for our music and Egyptian music is not available on the website we’re using 🙏🏻🙏🏻 thanks for your lovely comment
When I was in Egypt, Cairo, I ate a lot of what they called Syrian Ful. I am going to assume that it was very similar to this. Looks so incredibly delicious. Thank you
Every country has its own ful flavours and recipes, all are good 😊 please try this one, I’m sure you’ll love it, thank you so much 🙏🏻
Nothing called Syrian ful.. ful is originally Egyptian
Good
🙏🌟
thanks for this ..just doing an autimn planting of this broad bean in australia//my first try ..good to know traditional and special ways to prepare !
It’s very easy to plant, we used to plant it at school when I was a little kid, good luck with that 🙏🏻
هايل جدا 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Dina Abdulhamid شكرا ليك 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you for this charming presentation. Is there a way of cooking the ful in a Crock Pot ? If so, could you give us a step by step recipe which explains how to do this.
Thanks to you for the supportive comment 🙏🏻 yes of course you can definitely cook ful in a crock pot, just add the 12 hours soaked ful in the pot covered by one inch with boiling water for 8 hours on low or 3 hours on high, some people also add some tomatoes and yellow lentils to the water to make it lighter in colour, it’s really up to you but I prefer it plain so I can enjoy the natural taste of ful
Good luck 🤞 and please let me know have you experienced any difficulties, I always check the messages
Good 😌
🙏🏻🙏🏻
I like فول مصري
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
This woman sounds like a historian, linguist, scientist. Pretty cool lol. Salam.
Well done! I could eat that right now! Open a restaurant that just serves this with some bread, make a fortune.
That’s very sweet of you 🙏🏻 thank you so much
🤙🍍🏝 10:36
Idk why but the Egyptian cuisine is so underrated... I mean it really delivers so why we don't occasionally hear about it.
where do you get that cool pot you cooked the ful in? what's it called?
It’s the traditional Egyptian pot specifically for cooking ful
You can find similar ones in Turkish or Arabic supermarkets, it has a name but in Arabic called dammassa
From Los Angeles------Thanks for sharing this with me. Actually, I've never heard of sugar cane vinegar. Can distilled white vinegar be substituted instead?
Yes of course, it’s the same thing 👌 thank you so much 😊
Delish.
Thank you so much 😊
انا من زمان كان نفسي اجرب اعمل فول مدمس في البيت بس الفيديو بتاعك شجعني جداً ومتفائلة انه حيطلع تحفة
في اي ماركة تنصحي بيها او بتستعمليها لل
dry fava beans في انجلترا؟
شكرا حبيبتي علي كلامك الجميل ان شاءالله حيطلع تحفه
بصي انا مش فاكره الماركه بصراحه لكن انا جبته من سوبرماركت تركي اسمه TFC هو مشهور وليه فروع كتير
ممكن اي محل تركي تلاقي فيه بس نقي الحبه الصغيره لو لقيتيه مبطط وكبير اوعي تجيبيه بيبقي وحش اوي
@@culturewhisk6019
شكرا على النصيحة
عندك فكرة الاقي فين الدماسة، واحدة زي اللي استخدمتيها في الفيديو
يا ترى ممكن الاقيها اون لاين؟
العفو علي ايه
الدماسه انا جايباها من مصر بس بردو ممكن تلاقيها في المحلات التركي
لو ملاقيتش جربي eBay لو لا بردو هاتي slow cooker ودمسي الفول فيه
معلش سؤال اخير
هي الدماسة بتيجي مع السخان الكهرباء ولا كل حاجة بشتريها لوحدها؟
والله مش متاكده عشان مامتي اللي كانت جايباهملي من مصر
بس اعتقد كل حاجه لوحدها لان السخان له علبه لوحده وممكن يستخدم في اكتر من غرض عادي
Hello is there anywhere that you know of online where you can buy the pot and the little cooker it sitting on
Unfortunately I couldn’t find any, I bought mine from Egypt
You can try Arabic or Turkish shops, you might find it
You can try cooking it in an any deep pot . It will work ,too. The same technique.
I made this with the large dried favas and the seed coats were so tough it was hard to enjoy. I looked into it and found out that the coats should be removed or just use the small dried favas. You live and you learn I guess.
Yes unfortunately, you should use the small ones as I did
Good luck the next time
But don’t throw them away, use a hand blender or a food processor and purée it completely with the skin then make the same recipe with it, you won’t feel the skin at all
Hi, I have been wondering this very thing, I recently cooked some fava beans ftom dried. I part cooked them, removed the skin which seemed very tough. I then pressure cooked for 10 minutes. Taking the skin off was time consuming though
I love foule and would I have watched if I could hear what u r saying over the music.
Sorry to hear, this video was one the first ones, we lacked experience in making the videos now we’re better…. Try to watch and read the subtitles for this video and please watch the other videos you’ll find them interesting and hopefully better sound and lower music
@@culturewhisk6019 great thanks! Best of luck.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
What is the white sauce you use please
When I have breakfast at any local ful wagon in Egypt, the cook always squirts the top the ful with oil from a squeeze-bottle, a transluscent cream-coloured liquid- is this an oil-tahina mixture?
Well, they squirt two liquids, one is tahini sauce but a very thin one and the other is castor oil if you like on your ful
I don't know about putting sunflower oil on top at the end lol
You can put light olive oil if you want
طيب بتجيبي الرده منين في انجلترا؟؟
الرده حتلاقيها فHolland and Barrett
اسمها wheat bran
Thanks alot🥰🥰🌹🌹
Are the fava beans with the skin?
Yes dear 😊 whole dried fava beans
I see you do not peel the fava beans. What is the difference in taste between peeled and unpeeled fava? Thank you
the music is a bit loud
Where can I order foul please
You can find ful in any Arabic or Turkish shop near by, and the white sauce is tahini sauce, you can also find it in the same shop or in any big supermarket, it’s sesame butter
@@culturewhisk6019 thank you sis
may your merit be immense.
How sweet you are 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 i really appreciate your support dear ❤️🙏🏻
You need to add some lentils , garlic and tomatoes while baking the beans.
This is totally optional dear, I prefer not to add anything not to change the original taste of the ful but it’s totally up to you 😉
Background music is very loud.
Yes, that was a mistake in the video, sorry about that
U r hijab so stylish
Thank you so much dear ❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hi sis can you show picture of the name fuul I mean plastic bag if you can thanks I need exactly your fuul name they are miore different
There is a very famous brand called Americana and it’s the best brand, you’ll find lots of other brands as well in any Arabic or Turkish shop also maybe in African shops
@@culturewhisk6019 all right sis thanks
يا حرام. أنا باموت في الدميسه ولكن للأسف أعاني من أنيميا الفول . A cogenital ailment called favism or G6PD deficiency. قليل البخت بيلاقي العضم في الكرشه
الف سلامه علي حضرتك
The music is very disturbing and cannot hear you
I have to tell you that the music is too loud and your voice is too low and I can't hear you in the beginning.
Noted 🙏🏻 thank you so much for the feedback 😊
Ancient Egyptian proverb only a fool eats foul at night.
Great for breakfast or lunch
😂😂😂
Sun flower oil? Oh nooo so unhealthy. Olive oil enriches the dish in taste and health.
You can use corn oil instead or if you like olive oil can do but will definitely change the taste dramatically in this recipe which I personally wouldn’t prefer, I love olive oil and can’t do without it in my daily cooking but in some authentic Egyptian recipes I have to use other oils unfortunately 🤷♀️
@@culturewhisk6019 Of course, everyone has his or hers preference. Either way it looks very delicious...
The music s very annoying
Wonderful food, lovely presentation but PLEASE drop the music, it drowns out your voice and is of the type which sets the teeth on edge. . I will subscribe but will unsubscribe of the music continues. Such a shame,such a lovely video otherwise.
Sorry about that 🙏🏻 appreciate your feedback
Yes I agree drop the music!
The music ruined the video
Other than that it was great
Music irritating
FFS, remove watch and ring before kneading the dough :/ This is so unhygienic
