Brilliant recipe. Made it today. The whole family were full of praise. It was absolutely delicious. I would only recommend adding a little bit of either squeezed lemon juice or citric acid crystals to give it that added tang. That's how we normally have it in Iraq. This a definite keeper of a recipe. Thank you x
I was looking for this as normally it is included in maraka/stews!!! However it’s been a nice change today to leave it out, i like the option now so thankyou for showing this! 😊
Hi lovely! This looks amazing I would really love to try it ☺️ Just had a couple of questions if that’s ok: When boiling the meat the first time (without pressure cooker) how long approximately do you leave it? And when adding the garlic, do you add a whole garlic head that wasn’t peeled? Sorry, I watched it a few times now and I’m still confused. Never added this much garlic before 😅 does this garlic melt away in the stew, or does it stay as chunks?
For the shanks, fill the pot with cold water, let it come to a first boil, then stop cooking and drain. I.e. as soon as it starts boiling you can turn the heat off. When adding your garlic, it's 2 whole bulbs - one peeled and segmented the other whole, unpeeled. The key to delicious bamia is lots of garlic and lots of tomato paste, trust me 😊 Hope this helps xx
@@TheArabAussieCookingChannel if i dont have tomato purée, how many roma tomatoes do i need to make the purée? i also dont have a blender but have a food processor
If on a regular pot (as opposed to a pressure cooker), the lamb can take up to three hours depending on the cut. It’s best to use a pressure cooker to save time and to tenderize it. For best flavor, I would put it on a slow cooker in the morning for 8 hours on low, as the slow cooking process REALLY brings out all the flavors as they have intensified for hours. It will be delicious any way you cook it, but the longer it cooks definitely really intensifies the flavors.
Hi dina_1111, that's correct it's just a basic stainless steel pressure cooker, nothing fancy, no electronics. Unfortunately I can't remember what brand It is. Hope your bamia turns out amazing 😊💕

what kind of stock powder?
You may use vegetable or chicken based stock powder
@@TheArabAussieCookingChannel if i dont have tomato purée, how many roma tomatoes do i need to make the purée? i also dont have a blender but have a food processor
@markn9619 4 tomatoes blended in a food processor works 🙂
@@TheArabAussieCookingChannel came out really watery looking and there was still chunks of tomatoes still in there that wasn’t blended.
How long did you leave the meat in the pressure cooker for?
She tells you in the video 45 min + or until the meat is soft
Total of 1 hour, or until the meat is soft bit you need to add the okra after 40 mins. All explained in the video 😊
😍😍😍😍
What stock powder did you use?
I used chicken but you can use any stock of your choice - beef, vegetable or chicken stock :)
If you don’t have a pressure cooker, do you just cook for longer on a medium heat? X
That's exactly right Karly, just cook for longer until the meat is falling off the bone 👌
My meat always comes very hard! Not soft? what am I doing wrong x
Hmmm sounds like you need to cook it longer by boiling🤔
If on a regular pot (as opposed to a pressure cooker), the lamb can take up to three hours depending on the cut. It’s best to use a pressure cooker to save time and to tenderize it.

how are youuuuuuuuu
Bzmati rice or Basmati rice? 😂
Definitely Bzmati mate 😊
No freaking way that's iraqi bamia .. please use ribs instead of shank and regular oil instead of gee and no pressure cooker .
We prefer shanks, ghee and a pressure cooker on this side of Iraq 😉
“No freaking way” ….please go make your own video and then critique it!
@@TheArabAussieCookingChannelhello sweetie, could you please tell me what pressure cooker you’re using? It seems to be a stainless steel one right?
