I had this dish at a restaurant in Amsterdam once! They also served beer made from fermented coconut water. It was litterally one of the best meals I ever had in my entire life. I believe this dish is traditionally served with an orange spiced stew made from chickpea flour. The name escapes me, but I think it starts with a J and sounds more like a japanese word than what I would associate with etheipian, but Who am I to say, I speak neither of those languages 😋.

Shiro is the dish made with chickpea flour but it isn't orange spiced. Maybe you were tasting the ginger?

Yeah that's the one. I was thinking Orange the colour, not the fruit 😋 it has an orange colour and a spicy taste.

How that name could escape me, I have no clue. I litterally have a pack of white snuff also called Shiro laying on the table right beside me 😂
