Shiro Powder Mitten (Spicy Ethiopian Seasoning)

This spicy seasoning is made from chickpea flour seasoned with Berbere (a chili pepper 
spice blend), and aromatic notes from ginger, garlic, and onions, giving it its characteristic rich, earthy, and spicy flavor. Used to make a ‘Shiro Wot’, a popular high-protein staple 
Ethiopian dish during special occasions & fasting seasons, served with 'Injera flatbread'. Can be added to vegetable soups, stews, dips or sauces to add flavor and as a thickening agent.
