Shiro
Ethiopian Spiced Chickpea Stew
A hearty and flavorful Ethiopian stew made from chickpea flour, spiced with berbere. Traditionally served as a fasting dish, it's known for its smooth texture and comforting warmth.
๐ง ์ฌ๋ฃ
- 200 g Shiro powder (chickpea flour)(Ensure it's specifically shiro powder, which is often roasted and seasoned. If using plain chickpea flour, you may need to adjust seasonings.)
- 2 medium Red onions(Finely chopped.)
- 2 medium Tomatoes(Finely chopped or pureed.)
- 60 ml Vegetable oil(Or other neutral cooking oil.)
- 1 tablespoon Berbere spice blend(Adjust to taste. Berbere is a key Ethiopian spice mix.)
- 500 ml Water(Approximately, for mixing the shiro. May need more or less depending on desired consistency.)
- 2 cloves Garlic(Minced (optional, but recommended for added flavor).)
- to taste Salt

Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat (around 180ยฐC / 350ยฐF). Add the finely chopped onions and sautรฉ, stirring occasionally, until they are softened and translucent, about 8-10 minutes. Continue cooking until they begin to turn golden brown and fragrant.
โฑ๏ธ 10-12 minutes - 2
Add the minced garlic (if using) and cook for another minute until fragrant. Stir in the chopped or pureed tomatoes and the berbere spice blend. Cook, stirring constantly, for about 5-7 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to break down and the spices to bloom, releasing their aroma. The mixture should become a thick, fragrant paste.
โฑ๏ธ 5-7 minutes - 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the shiro powder and approximately 500ml of water until you achieve a smooth, lump-free batter. The consistency should be like thin pancake batter. Add more water if needed. This step is crucial for a smooth shiro.
โฑ๏ธ 5 minutes - 4
Gradually pour the shiro mixture into the pot with the onion-tomato base, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat (around 150ยฐC / 300ยฐF).
โฑ๏ธ 2 minutes - 5
Reduce the heat to low (around 130ยฐC / 265ยฐF), cover the pot partially, and let the shiro simmer gently. Stir frequently to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking. The stew will gradually thicken. Continue simmering for at least 15-20 minutes, or until the shiro has reached your desired thick, creamy consistency and the raw chickpea flour taste has cooked out. You should see oil starting to separate slightly around the edges.
โฑ๏ธ 15-20 minutes - 6
Taste and season with salt as needed. Serve hot with injera (Ethiopian sourdough flatbread) or rice.

- โShiro is a staple in Ethiopian cuisine and is often prepared during fasting periods when animal products are avoided.
- โThe key to a smooth shiro is thorough whisking of the shiro powder with water to eliminate lumps.
- โAdjust the amount of berbere to control the spice level. For a milder version, use less berbere.
- โThe stew thickens considerably as it cools, so aim for a slightly looser consistency than you might prefer when serving.

- For a richer flavor, some recipes include a small amount of niter kibbeh (spiced clarified butter) in addition to or instead of some oil, though this makes it non-vegan.
- Tegabino is a variation where the shiro is served in a clay pot with a raw egg cracked into the center and cooked by the residual heat of the stew.
