At least that's how it's done in Palestine as far as I know. Jameed has a very distinctive taste, much different from plain yoghurt. Im sure you would be able to get it in any Middle Eastern store and it is not too difficult to dry the yoghurt yourself although it is a rather time consuming process and most of my Palestinian neighbours buy it from Bedouins around here. :)Anneriekenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262628558438346351.post-58892716284159783972010-12-05T18:02:11.522-05:002010-12-05T18:02:11.522-05:00Your blog is amazing!

I remember the women in my family all sitting in a circle and preparing the dumplings together. So delicious.

I noticed many variations online but the yogurt sauce is the same. My grandmother made the dumplings filled with lamb fresh minced parsley, garlic powder salt and pepper. She didnt cook the filling first, just put the raw filling in center of dough circles closed and shaped it then baked them till lightly brown and added them to the sauce. Craving these and Ill try this variation or stick with the way my grandma made them. thanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262628558438346351.post-79735278852586806642009-12-22T07:26:41.600-05:002009-12-22T07:26:41.600-05:00This is hands-down my favorite meal.

He would also "sweat" the cilantro and garlic before combining with the yogurt sauce. This looks great laid out on a platter, and is perfect for entertaining.kateza'atarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03700204993413949186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262628558438346351.post-3425932566130340562009-12-08T10:52:26.009-05:002009-12-08T10:52:26.009-05:00love the combination of spices and beef in yogurt ...love the combination of spices and beef in yogurt sauce . delicious dumplings. thanks.Azita Mehranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11133913930130298761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5262628558438346351.post-87910698864503026272009-12-07T20:22:08.193-05:002009-12-07T20:22:08.193-05:00One of my absolute favorites!
