Soften onion, garlic and tomato in oil with the berbere.
Whisk the chickpea flour into 600ml water off-heat until lump-free, then pour into the pot.
Simmer, whisking, 12–15 minutes until glossy and thick like custard.
💡 Shiro burns at the bottom the second you trust it. Keep the whisk moving.
Top with sliced jalapeno and serve bubbling with injera.
Shiro powder — seasoned, milled chickpeas — is the pantry hero of Ethiopian homes and the dish homesick students crave first. Served bubbling in a clay shakla dist, it is fasting food, comfort food and daily food at once.
