Shuroe – African Recipes

Recipe ingredients and directions:

Shuroe (Spiced Chick-Pea Flour Mis and Sauce)

Serves 2

1 cup chick-pea flour (besan)

1/2 teaspoon ground tumeric

1/2 teaspoon grated fresh gingerroot or ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon paprika

1/4 teaspoon hot red chili powder

1/4 teaspoon ground aniseed

1 cup water

1 teaspoon corn oil

2 tablespoons chick-pea flour mix

1/2 teaspoon salt

Mix together the chick-pea flour, tumeric, ginger, paprika, hot

chili and aniseed. Mix well and set aside.

To prepare the sauce, bring the water and oil to a boil in a skillet,

add 2 tablespoons of the mix and the salt and simmer over low heat

for 3 to 4 minutes. The sauce will thicken quickly to a thick

puree.

Serve warm with injeera. Or serve the sauce with any stew as a

side dish.

Reserve the balance of the shuroe mix for another occasion.
