Yogurt and Jalebi

Meat seems to be present in many Iraqi dishes. I have not heard of cooking wheat with meat(Ash or Bormat Mosul, Hasreesah). (11.4.2011 - Hyderabadi haleem is one such preparation. I have never had it. I hear that there are vegeterian versions of it too)
Samoon, Iraqi Cookbook says is 'boat-shaped bread with two crispy button-shaped ends'. It reminded me of Georgian Khachapuri.
Boiled sweetened turnip takes me to yesterday's conversation with a colleague about purple yam dessert.
Baidh mashwee or baked eggs in tomatoes is like one of the dishes on npr. Eggs can be baked in mashed potato too.
I saw a dish with bright red tomatoes and yellow of the eggs in a book on Istanbul. I do not like that combination in a curry. It might be agreeable in other preparations. Analysing egg combinations, how would Tamriyya haneeney (eggs with dates) be?
Kubba, a shell made from rice flour, boiled rice, mashed potato or cracked wheat seems an interesting thing to stuff things with.
Parda pulav.
Halawat jizar (Gaajar Halwa) and Zlabyah(Jalebi) are made in India too. If anyone has ever thought it weird that people sometimes have jalebi with yogurt, there must be some interplay going on between the fresh yogurt and the yogurt used to make the jalebi.

Fasanjoon like the Persian Fesenjan.
