Are you wondering why this dish is called Fulesh?? Me too \ud83d\ude42 Ha ha…<\/p>\n

Let me tell you the story behind it. One of our relative from Sudan used to make a dish called Ful Medames (I didn’t know the original name, My cousin told me a few days ago), an ancient Egyptian dish.<\/p>\n

In Ful Medames, fava beans are used as the main ingredient.<\/p>\n

This is one of the favorite dish in our family for years. As Fava beans were not easily available in India years back, it was replaced by Rajma \/ Kidney Beans and we have been enjoying this dish since ages.<\/p>\n

Here is what I believe, because the word Ful Medames is not easy to pronounce and not everyone is familiar with the meaning of it, it gradually changed from<\/p>\n

Ful Medames to Fulesh in our family. Believe me, it doesn’t matter what you call this dish is but you will fall in love with it once you have it.<\/p>\n

Its full meal with a variety of nutrition and can be eaten any time be it breakfast, lunch or dinner.<\/p>\n

The cooking process is very easy and simple. Saute tomatoes and onion, add rajma\/kidney beans and some very basic spices and let it simmer for a while.<\/p>\n

Then toss it in cabbage or lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and cucumbers. And have it with a slice of bread or Pav buns.<\/p>\n
