I've seen a lot of recipes for this soup; however, my mother-in-law adds tomato paste for a bit of a different flavour and she doesn't add any lentils or beans. It's thick, filling, and delicious, and you could make it vegetarian by using vegetable stock.

Beef and potatoes are the main ingredients folded inside these wonderful deep fried samosas. Chicken livers may be substituted for beef, if you choose. My friend from Bangladesh gave me this savory, spicy recipe. You just can't buy better in the shops.

Semolina gives these exotic yeast pancakes a light, lacy texture, and the thousands of tiny holes catch the sweet honey and butter sauce with optional orange blossom. Substitute rosewater flavor if you prefer.

Red lentils are colorful and creamy in this Middle Eastern-inspired soup. A fragrant mix of olive oil, onion soup mix, ground cumin, and pepper provide zip! The lentils are cooked in a pressure cooker, then combined with herbs and spices and processed until smooth. Just before serving, a squeeze of lemon and a sprinkling of parsley are added. 

Fereni Starch Pudding

Subtly spicy cardamom, ground almonds and rosewater flavor this creamy milk and cornstarch pudding. For best results be sure to use whole cardamom pods instead of the ground variety. Whole pods and rosewater can be found at specialty grocers.

These lamb kebabs have 6 different kinds of spices; the first time I smelled them I knew immediately that I had to find the recipe. The most affordable way to purchase the spices is in bulk at either a health food store or an Asian or Middle-Eastern market. They are very good!
