🇪🇹 Ethiopia recipe

Chechebsa

Chechebsa, also known as kita firfir, is a beloved Ethiopian breakfast of pan-fried unleavened flatbread torn into pieces and tossed generously with niter kibbeh and berbere. The bread becomes crispy on the outside while remaining chewy within, and the spiced butter creates a rich, warming coating that makes this dish irresistibly comforting on cold mornings.
