Egypt: When cooking Foul medamis? is it better to leave the bean into water before cooking it?

Or it would taste better if you just cook it (I know it will take more tadmis time) I am talking here about the taste?

soaking Foul is very important . it is not only about less time cooking. all the legumes should be soak to get rid of the gases inside it and when we eat it it doesn't affect our colon
if you are going to put 3ads you should cock it first

Yes, it's better to leave it overnight. The water won't affect the taste at all. You'll "te7abesho kewayes" anyway with lemon and oil and cummin or any other spices to your taste. But the water will definitely decrease tadmiss time. Without water, it'll take forever.

It will taste better
but the effect on the brain and the colon will be the same

it is better to soak the beans for hours before cooking it
the longer you soak it , the less time it takes for cooking .
the taste is better , too
add some lentiles , 3ads asfr , some tomatoes , some carrots , some baking powder when it is covered and heated to be cooked
these additions make it better in color and texture
bon apetit

It doesnt affect the taste, but what does is what you add into it. you should add garlic, a very small tomato, 3ads asfar and a small unlpeeled and un-cut lemon (all while still cooking)
and then add the good stuff when its ready to be served ;)
