Questions

How long does Taameya keep?

Refrigerate it in a sealed container for up to four days and stir it back together before serving.

Can I halve or double Taameya?

Yes. As written it serves 4. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. Doubled, blend in batches rather than overfilling the jar.
