Kitcha
Eritrea
⏱ — min. Serves: —

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup water (adjust as needed)
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil or melted butter

Instructions

Prepare the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder.

Gradually add water to the flour mixture, stirring continuously until a smooth, soft dough forms. The dough should be pliable but not sticky.

Shape and Cook

Divide the dough into small balls (about the size of a golf ball).

On a lightly floured surface, flatten each ball into a thin, round disc using a rolling pin or your hands.

Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with vegetable oil or melted butter.

Cook each disc for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The kitcha should have a slightly crisp texture on the outside.

Serve

Remove the cooked kitcha from the skillet and place on a plate.

Enjoy your meal!
