Bosh is a form of Fuul (also Ful) where the bean stew (Fuul is the Arabic for broad [fava] beans) is poured over pieces of bread in a bowl.

1 tsp shottar (chilli powder) [optional]

Method:

Soak the dried broad beans in water for at least 3 hours. Then drain the beans and place in a large pot.

Drain the beans and place in a bowl or pestle and mortar and lightly mash.
