Facts About Kitcha
Kitcha, also known as kitta or chechebsa, is a popular form of thin, unleavened bread in Ethiopian and Eritrean cuisine. Comprising a straightforward blend of wheat flour, water, and salt, this bread is prepared by cooking the batter in a hot pan. There's no need to shape it perfectly; simply pour the batter in and allow it to spread out naturally. Cook one side until it's done, then flip it to cook the other side. Don’t worry if it gets a bit charred—that’s part of its appeal!
Kitcha adopts the shape of whatever pan you use, giving it a pancake-like appearance, though its texture and taste are quite distinct. One of the most popular ways to enjoy kitcha is in a dish called fit-fit, wherein the bread is broken into pieces and mixed with various flavorful ingredients.
