Ingredients
- 1 cup chickpea flour
- 3 cups water
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 2 tablespoons berbere spice blend
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
- Salt, to taste
- Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped, for garnish
Method
- In a medium-sized saucepan, whisk together the chickpea flour and water until well combined, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring continuously, until it thickens to a smooth consistency. This usually takes about 10–15 minutes.
- In a separate pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until it becomes soft and translucent.
- Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the berbere spice blend, paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt to the pan. Mix well to coat the onions, garlic, and ginger with the spices.
- Transfer the spiced onion mixture to the thickened chickpea flour mixture and stir well to combine all the flavors. Continue cooking for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and cayenne pepper according to your preference.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and let cool slightly. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or cilantro before serving.
