Taameya is the Egyptian version of falafel, but instead of using a chickpea mash, we use a fava (broad) bean mash. It has become such a staple that, like fuul, it can be eaten for breakfast, lunch or dinner. In fact, the word ‘taameya’ comes from the Arabic word ‘ta’am’, meaning nourishment. The use of a lot of green herbs gives the taameya its vibrant green colour.
