Ethiopian shiro is a beloved, comforting dish made from finely ground chickpeas or broad beans, blended with aromatic spices. The powder is slowly cooked with onions, garlic, and oil (often niter kibbeh or vegetable oil) until it turns smooth, thick, and creamy.
Shiro has a rich, savory flavor with gentle warmth from spices, and a soft, velvety texture that melts in your mouth. It’s commonly enjoyed hot, scooped up with injera, and is especially popular during fasting seasons because it’s naturally plant-based.
Simple, nourishing, and deeply traditional—shiro is everyday comfort food in Ethiopian homes.
