It is a typical dish of the Egyptian cuisine: tasty small deep-fried patties made of highly-spiced ground chick-peas, rich in proteins and poor in calories, resembling meat in nutritive value and taste. This dish is very ancient. Reportedly, it dates back to the time of the Pharaohs and nowadays it is always present in the dinner of Egyptians and of all people who love eating exotic, nutritious and high-quality dises.

It is called Okra or Bamia, its common name is hibiscus and it is also known as "okuba" or "okura" in Asia and Japan. Today it is more and more appreciated by consumers attracted by oriental flavours too.

Molokhia (or mallow leaves) has a green colour with dark shades. These leaves are eaten whole or stewed, even if this use is pretty rare in Egypt, where molokhia is mostly ground according to a precise procedure.

Vine leaves: tender vine leaves which are highly appreciated prepared as fanciful and delicious rolls stuffed with rice and meat.

Called Colkasia or Egyptian potato, it is grown in the South of Egypt and has big fruits. It is quickly done and is ready to be cooked.
