That sounds really unique. I'm not familiar with Egyptian cooking.


I've never eaten anything Egyptian but I will try this dish. Except for the yogurt it has ingredients found in Southern cuisine.


Wow, does this sound good! Thanks - I will definitely be trying.


This sounds really different...my hubby loves okra so I'm always looking for new ways to cook it- I'll definitely be giving this a go in the near future!


:) Served with white rice here in Egypt.One of the best!! Thanks for that JM.


Hahaha...Thanks for the side dish ;) Now it's your turn to email it to me my friend.


We had this for dinner tonight. It is Wonderful! My Husband liked it as much as I did. It gets a 5 from me.
Thanks,

I made this last night for dinner (w/ some changes for what I had on hand) and we loved it! My daughter never eats all of her okra, but she did last night! Thanks a bunch! ~Dawn
