Tamiya :

Tamiya is also called falafel in other parts roots stretch back to ancient Egypt. It is made with white beans or chickpea.

It is the alltime favourite and most common street food of Egypt and can be consumed any time of the day

It can be consumed by itself as a snack, as a part of a salad or the most common way is like a sandwitch with pita bread, tomato, onions and tahini sauce.

Modified a bit to give a tasty and healthy twist. Have added beetroot and stuffed it with feta cheese
