I have had this stuff called Tomaya (sp?) recently.
Its yogurt and garlic I think, but not too sure of what else is in there. You use it like a dip, and its white and creamy.
and its yummy.
anyone have any ideas on how to make it?

The only tamiya that I know are a type of fritter (a bit like falafel) which are made with dried broad (fava) beans. I usually serve them with a sauce made from tahina paste, yoghourt, garlic and coriander (cilantro). Could this be what you mean?

nah....its 2 different things, unfortunately.
the pronounciation in arabic is darn close, but not the same stuff.
just got a new egyptian cookbook (had a lightbulb moment..lol), and gotta see if its listed in there.

I had this too. Light green colour and garlicy, beautiful it was.
Wish I had asked the name of it... [Mad]

I would think it would be yogort, pepper or chilli powder, minced garlic, salt and a bit mint .

All whisked up in the blender and chilled?

Sure it is not the sauce I mention above?
