Foul Mudammas @ Kacang Pool Arab (Asli)

When we were living in Jeddah, this dish had been one of our favourite meals. We would stop by at one restaurant and had this as a take-away. Sometimes we would eat at home and sometimes by the Red Sea. In Malaysia, this dish is quite popular but has been improvised to suit the locals' taste. They called it Kacang Pool which came from the word 'foul' and is mainly popular in Johor. Here, I would like to share with you the authentic foul mudammas recipe, just as how the Arabs would cook it. Please try.
