Bamia is a central Asian dish from Afghanistan. It is an Albanian, Armenian, Assyrian, Azerbaijani, Iranian, Kurdish, Somali, Sudanese and Turkish stew prepared using lamb, okra and tomatoes as primary ingredients.[1][2][3] Additional ingredients used include tomato sauce, onion, garlic, cilantro (coriander), vegetable oil, cardamom, salt and pepper.[1] The word "bamia" itself simply means "okra" and it is etymologically an Arabic word.[4]

Vegetarian bamia is very popular during fasting seasons such as Easter in Greece and Cyprus.[citation needed]

Regional variations

In Turkey, bamia (natively bamya) is an Anatolian stew that has a sweet and sour flavor.[5] It is prepared using okra, lemon juice, olive oil, sugar, salt and pepper.[5] Turkish bamia is sometimes served as a palate cleanser between food courses at ceremonial feasts.[5]

Bamia (natively 'bamija' or 'bamnja') is also prepared in Bosnia and Herzegovina, generally as a part of the Eid dinner. Bosnian bamia is prepared as a veal stew. It is cooked for a long time until the meat is completely soft.

In Egypt, sinew (tendons) of lamb are typically used, which can endure long cooking times.[6] Ta'aleya, an Egyptian garlic sauce, is used as an ingredient to add flavor to bamia.[a][6]

In Iran and Afghanistan, bāmieh is served as a khoresh along with rice and is a popular dish in the southern provinces.[citation needed]

Iraqi Jews, put semolina kubba in their bamia stew.
