To me, a Turkish (excluding desserts) dish has to have that cumin seed flavour so I added about 2 tsp of ground cumin to the filling. I made Turkish bread myself and baked the doughs stuffed with the filling, a bit like making calzone from scratch. For this, I had to reduce the volume of the filling a bit and hence did not incorporate crushed tomatoes but it still worked ok and was v. yummy!

I have a passion for healthy and simple dishes with lots of vegetables, although I love a treat every now and again also, especially ice cream!
