    Hi Rabz You are right this is sold at every corner in the Arab world. At the beginning I did not like it's taste but then when I had at some friends house with chutney it tasted so yummy that we often make it for dinner.Would you know how to make Ruz Bukahri by any chance? Thank you.

    The amount of water should not be more then 1 c in the beans and the fava beans should only be mashed slightly.
