Egypt consumes approximately 70 percent of its beans in split form, which are used primarily for tamayya or falafel mixes. Split beans are made into a paste which is mixed with vegetables, herbs and spices and then fried to form a patty.
Tamayya are usually served in a pita bread, with salads, pickled vegetables, hot sauce, and drizzled with tahini sauce.
