Bamia matbukha (باميه مطبخ 'cooked okra') or bamia bi-lahm (البامية باللحم 'okra with meat'), often called simply bamia, is a Middle Eastern and Egyptian stew prepared using lamb, okra and tomatoes as primary ingredients. Additional ingredients used include tomato sauce, onion, garlic, cilantro, vegetable oil, cardamom, salt and pepper. In Egypt, sinew (tendons) of lamb are typically used, which can endure long cooking times. Ta'aleya, an Egyptian garlic sauce, is used as an ingredient to add flavor to Bamia. The word "bamia" itself is simply the Arabic word for okra.
