Egyptian Ful Medames Breakfast Near Saharanpur

Stark fluorescent light floods a small bedside table, illuminating a white ceramic plate piled with thick, brown fava beans. Pools of golden olive oil glisten across the mashed surface, cradling two soft-boiled eggs with cracked, white shells. The beans appear coarse and earthy, against the smooth, cool glass of a water tumbler standing beside the plate. Condensation beads heavily on the glass surface, dripping slowly down the side in the cool early autumn air. A crumpled paper napkin rests near the rim, catching the harsh overhead glare. The composition centers the meal, highlighting the texture of the stew and the wet sheen of the condensation against the plain table.
