Shahan ful, simplified to ful, is a dish common in Sudan, South Sudan, Somalia, Ethiopia and other parts of the Horn of Africa, which is generally served for breakfast. Believed to originate from Sudan, it is made by slowly cooking fava beans in water. Once the beans have softened, they are crushed into a coarse paste. It is often served with chopped green onions, tomatoes, and hot green peppers, as well as yogurt, feta cheese, olive oil, tesmi, berbere, lemon juice, cumin, and chili pepper. It is typically eaten without the aid of utensils accompanied with a bread roll. It is popular during the Ramadan season and during the various Lents.
The dish is similar to ful medames, a popular dish of Egypt.(citation needed)
