Today was a day for rejoicing. I made my first bamya (ocra) ever. The result was unexpectedly great. And the husband is willing to confirm this. I have been wanting to cook bamya for over a year but since I’m the queen of procrastination I kept puting it off. But two days before we left Jordan last week, I went to my cousin Manal’s place, where she taught me all the tricks of making superb bamya. I tried it today for dinner and it worked wonderfully. Here is poof. Go ahead. You can click it; it gets bigger. |
WOW! That does look good! Lol, it’s so fascinating how each “area” cooks the same thing in a different way 🙂 We only cook bamyeh with lemon sauce.
Keep it up!
I have a challenge for you: Shushbarak!
Thank you guys for your kind words. I have to admit I was dreading making this dish, but glad that everything turned out okay.
Luai,
Yeah, you fry the bamya and then you add the cooked meat and the sauce. I will give you the recipe if you are interested.
Linda,
I can’t believe you don’t eat Bamya. That’s the dish that I crave the most when I’m away from home. It ‘s just soooooo good.

Okh! First, eggnog, then waraq dawali and chili and now bamya! Mashallah mashallah; if you were not married I would have told you “khalas bidna njawzik”
I was never a fan of bamya but I felt like it a while ago. Luckily we found some frozen ocra in the store so we got it. The surprise was when we opened the bag; each “ocrayayeh” was about 6 cm long and about 1.5 cm in diameter, and the seeds were as big as bell pepper seeds.
Speaking of food, I am craving faqqoos now…
Meet Elf Mabrook, Natasha. It looks good, even though I do not eat bamya. Never will. Now how about some fasoulya?
Looks absolutely delicious!! One of my favorite dishes. Do you fry the okra prior to putting it with the tomato sauce?
