{Ramadan Special} – Guest Post: Turkish Lamb Pides from Dr.Jehanne of The Cooking Doctor
Salam and welcome! Dr.Jehanne is no new name to the readers of my blog. Her recipe Jalebi with Vanilla Flavored Rabdi is one of the most popular guest post on my blog till date. Dr.Jehanne is a phenomenal personality I came across through blogging. She is Sweet friend, adorable mom to a angel, loving wife, cookbook author, multilingual, food blogger, food columnist, food photographer, food stylist and above all cardiac doctor by profession. As a Ramadan gift she has sent across her beautiful mini cookbooks, where every recipe is a keeper. Jehanne has always surprised me with the varied choice of recipes. And today she is sharing with us a very famous and delicious recipe of Turkish Lamb Pides | Kiymale Pides.
Dr.Jehanne Says,
I first discovered Lubna’s blog through her Joy From Fasting To Feasting event a few Ramadan’s ago, and since then I am hooked on her beautiful creations. I am delighted when Lubna asked me to contribute for her event this month, a clever twist different from the lasts where all bloggers collaborate for guest post this month.
Food Memories
Ramadan is a special month for me and my family. I guess I speak for a lot of Muslims out there who observe this holy month for religious duties as well as for family gatherings. Out of all holidays in a year, this is the one that I look forward to the most, as there is always a table of feast to break the fast with! My food memories one way or another revert back to my childhood days, and this lamb pide is one of the most cherished ones.

How to make Turkish Lamb Pides
Preparing the dough for Turkish Pide
