    I am cooking this tonite for my supper with the tinest sweetest bamya from my local pazar here in Uskudar, (Istanbul), on Monday. I have both lamb and mutton (left from Kurban Bayram last year, no I am not Muslim, I am English), but I had some kofte meat in the fridge. I have added cumin and all spice to this and will make small kofte to add to the okra at end of cooking. I will serve with makarna(pasta), which is traditional for Egypt, so a mix of Egyptian and Turkish cuisine-::))) Afiyet Olsun!!

    Nice to see someone using mutton these days, a very under rated meat..a very helpful hint about the okra too, one of my favourite veggies..:-))
