Shiro Wat
Smooth, thick chickpea flour stew spiced with berbere, a fasting-day staple across Ethiopia.
Why It Works
Pre-spiced shiro powder dissolves into water to form an instant, protein-rich sauce; the key is adding it gradually to prevent lumps and cooking long enough to remove the raw flour taste.
