Tamiya

Sudanese tamiya is often shaped into small, flat, dish-shaped patties rather than balls, crisp at the edges and soft in the middle.

Mashed fava beans are blended with herbs and spices, shaped into patties or balls, and deep-fried until crisp. Street vendors across Khartoum sell tamiya hot, often tucked into bread with salad and sauce.

Why it's made this way: Tamiya turned cheap, abundant pulses into a portable, handheld street snack for busy city streets, sold alongside ful at the same breakfast stalls.
